total master-budget variances
noting much
Small samples and large population variances imply that the estimate for the mean will be relatively poor. Whether or not it will result in an underestimate or overestimate depends on the distribution: with a symmetric distribution the two outcomes are equally likely.
The variances are squared so that all deviations above and below the mean become positive values. Taking the square root of the variance then gives a measure of the differences from the mean: the standard deviaton. Squaring the deviations also makes the bigger differences stand out. Look at 100 squared vs 10 squared.
Adverse variances means unfavourable variance which is actual expenses are more than budgted variance.
