📚 Statistics calculators
The statistics calculators cluster covers measurement and survey math: coefficient of variation, sample proportion, margin of error, survey response rate, relative standard error, hit rate, sensitivity (TPR), specificity (TNR), false positive rate, and data completeness—each on a single-intent URL.
Compute statistics and measurement KPIs: CV, sample proportion, margin of error, survey response rate, RSE, hit rate, sensitivity, specificity, FPR, and data completeness. For classic percent error and difference, use the linked Change tools.

Definitions
CV
Coefficient of variation = standard deviation ÷ mean × 100.
MoE
Margin of error for a proportion ≈ z × √(p(1−p)/n), reported in percentage points.
Sensitivity
True positive rate = TP ÷ (TP + FN) × 100.
Formulas
- CV %: (SD ÷ mean) × 100
- MoE (pp): z × √(p(1−p)/n) × 100
- Sensitivity %: TP ÷ (TP + FN) × 100
- Specificity %: TN ÷ (TN + FP) × 100
Comparison table
| Topic | Guidance |
|---|---|
| CV vs RSE | CV uses SD÷mean for a dataset; RSE uses SE÷estimate for a published estimate. |
| Sensitivity vs specificity | Sensitivity catches positives; specificity correctly clears negatives. |
| FPR vs specificity | FPR = 1 − specificity when computed on the same TN/FP counts. |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Where is percent error?
On the Change hub (percentage error)—linked from this page. This Statistics hub focuses on CV, MoE, and classification rates.
Is MoE a confidence level?
No. Confidence level chooses z; MoE is the resulting half-width in percentage points.
Do these replace a stats package?
No. They compute transparent formulas for education and quick checks—use full software for complex designs.
