Medical - Mathematik und Statistik / Statistics | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: longeur | "Sur base des données de 600 patients un intervalle de confiance à 95% sur un pourcentage (par exemple le pourcentage de patients qui connaissent leur score EDSS) aura une longueur d’au plus 8%. Pour une fréquence de 50% l’intervalle est: [46%; 54%]"
I would appreciate a translation of the whole sentence, as I am not very experienced in French statistics, thanks. |
| | | Sentence | Erklärung:
For a database of 600 patients, a 95 per cent confidence interval (for example the percentage of patients who know their EDSS score) will not exceed 8 %. For a frequency of 50 per cent, the interval is 46%-54%.
Au plus means "at most" which is in agreement with the 50 % example. |

| will be 8 per cent longer
Erklärung:
For a database of 600 patients a 95 per cent confidence interval (for example the percentage of patients who know their EDSS score)will be 8 per cent longer. For a frequency of 50 per cent the interval is 46%-54%.
Not the world's greatest translation, I'm afraid but what it describes is inferring population values from sample values. Underlying this is the concept of a normal distribution (also known as a bell curve because of its shape). Under statistical sampling theory successive sample averages will be normally distributed around the population average: in other words the average of the sample averages is the population average. The measure of variation, or deviation from the average, is known as a standard error and 95 per cent of sample average will be plus or minus 2 standard errors from the true population; and this is the basis for the "confidence" attached to a sample average like the one above (échantillon would sound better than base des données to me if the sentence is describing a sample).
Hope this helps.

Oops! should be \"plus or minus 2 standard errors from the true population average...\" towards the end
