In the query personally signed and stamp-dated August 8, by Abba Kyari, the presidency 'observed significant variances between the budgeted collections and actual collections for the period 2015 to 2018.'
For example, the report said the turnover of the first four months of GHS126.38 million was lower than the flexed budgeted figure of GHS170.52 million, representing 26 percent below budget, and the recorded variance was as a result of a reduction in the volume of products stored in the refinery.
He said the financial years outreach programmes budget variances stood at P675 327 for 2016/2017, P33 504 for 2017/2018 and P51 429 for 2018/2019.

As such we might expect that whilst school leadership has become more important during this period, and school leaders utilise these greater freedoms to varying degrees and with varying success, this may lead to greater variance in school performance.

Assuming the normal homoscedastic (NH) SDT model, and the yes/no experimental paradigms (MacMillan & Creelman, 2005), three main methods have been proposed for calculating the variance of d' (see below for a detailed technical presentation): the exact method of Miller (1996), the approximate method of Gourevitch and Galanter (1967), and the maximum likelihood method of Dorfman and Alf (1968).

ABSTRACT: To estimate the variance for rare and cluster population has been the main problem in survey sampling.
The fact that variances are assumed as heterogeneous tends to improve the partition of the total variance between the variances attributed to random effects included in the analysis models.
