Data are based on a sample and
are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate
arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of
error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of
error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the
interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate
plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the
true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject
to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of
the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these
tables.
Notes:
· The categories under period
of service are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Veterans may have served in
more than one period.
Explanation of Symbols:
1. An '*' entry in the margin
of error column indicates that too few sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is
not appropriate.
2. An '**' entry in the margin
of error column indicates that no sample observations were available to compute
a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not
appropriate.
3. An '-' entry in the
estimate column indicates that no sample observations were available to compute
an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of
the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an
open-ended distribution.
4. An '-' following a median
estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended
distribution.
5. An '+' following a median
estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended
distribution.
6. An '***' entry in the
margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval
or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not
appropriate.
7. An '*****' entry in the
margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical
test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
8. An 'N' entry in the
estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic
area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.
9. An '(X)' means that the
estimate is not applicable or not available.
