It seems that they are adding up the margin of errors for 82/1461 and 87/1461, (schools responded divided by schools surveyed), giving a total margin of error of ~20% for these optional vs. mandatory masked student statistics. This is a problem with using surveys with a low response rate. In their own words in that section, by the incident rate ratio it is statistically significant, even after having been adjusted for county level 7 day incidence. You can try and figure it out on page 4 of the cdc report, it does not appear to be a null hypothesis test. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7021e1-H.pdf |
