The supposed explanation of the approximate variance does not distinguish between a, b as random variables, as sample values, and as replacements for the theoretical means. Melcombe (talk) 15:16, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It also appears to assume, but does not state, that the two variables are uncorrelated. As this 'approximate' formulae' section is unreferenced and clearly has several problems I've decided to remove it as it's potentially misleading. Qwfp (talk) 10:53, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
