APPENDIX EXPERIMENTAL ESTIMATES FOR AUXILIARY FINANCE AND INSURANCE SERVICES
OVERVIEW
1 This appendix contains experimental estimates for Subdivision 64 Auxiliary finance and insurance services which are being released for the first time for 2009-10 and 2010-11.
2 The reference period, scope, coverage and survey design for the experimental estimates in this appendix are the same as those found throughout this publication. Further detail can be found in the Explanatory Notes.
3 The methodology for creating these experimental estimates is the same as for other industries in this publication. See Technical Note 1 for detailed information.
4 The experimental estimates for Auxiliary finance and insurance services are subject to sampling and non-sampling error, as outlined in Technical Note 2. One measure of sampling error is the standard error, another is relative standard error (RSE) which expresses the standard error as a percentage of the estimate to which it refers. The RSEs for selected experimental estimates in 2010-11 were:
- Wages and salaries: 1.8%
- Sales and service income: 3.5%
- Total income: 5.7%
- Total expenses: 3.4%
- Industry value added: 3.1%.
5 To illustrate, the experimental estimate of sales and service income for 2010-11 was $37,332m. The associated relative standard error was 3.5%, giving a standard error of approximately $1,307m. Therefore, there are two chances in three that, if all units had been included in the survey, a figure in the range of $36,025m to $38,639m would have been obtained, and nineteen chances in twenty (i.e. a confidence interval of 95%) that the figure would have been within the range of $34,719m to $39,945m.
6 The estimates in this appendix are considered experimental and are still subject to evaluation and therefore should be used with caution.
