    The variance of the mean of samples is the variance of the population divided by the sample size. For the standard deviation you take the root. That is to say: The sample size is plenty big, the representativeness is closer to where you could try leveling criticism of this type. But to do that, you’d have to look at how they selected the sample and what the state of the art of sample selection is.
