Standard error is a measure of the reliability or precision of the survey statistic.  The value for the standard error can be used to construct confidence intervals and to perform hypothesis tests by standard statistical methods.  Relative Standard Error (RSE) is defined as the standard error (square root of the variance) of a survey estimate, divided by the survey estimate and multiplied by 100.
