Hi everyone. I'm new to ACS data and am a bit confused. Below is a screenshot from page 64 of ACS General Handbook where the formula for determining MOE of the proportion and a worked example.
However, it appears to me that the worked example swaps the MOE(X-hat) and MOE(Y-hat). Am I totally wrong or missing something?
Any help totally appreciated. Thanks so much!
Without knowing what the MOEs actually are for X and Y, the fact that X is a subset of Y (in the case of proportions), we’d expect the MOE(X) to be larger than MOE(Y). So this looks right to me.
