• Description: An error that can occur in a sample-based physical inventory. In combination with the probable degree of confidence confidence level, the relative statistical error is a criterion for assessing the reliability of the estimate made based on the samples taken.

A sample-based physical inventory is successful if, in addition to other criteria being satisfied, it can be claimed with the probable degree of confidence specified that the possible error between the estimated and actual unknown value is smaller than the predefined relative statistical error.
