In the early stages I wasn't worried about
getting precise estimates of the numbers of schools or the proportion of children in them, but rather wanted to see if such schools even existed.

However, researchers say distinguishing heartburn sufferers from people with GERD complicates
finding precise estimates for the prevalence of GERD.
(Almost all the African - American students came from schools with average test scores below the district mean; the few that did not had almost identical average impacts, but the number of available observations was too small to
recover precise estimates.)
But we can calculate more prosaic economic values related to effective teaching, by drawing on a research literature that provides
surprisingly precise estimates of the impact of student achievement levels on their lifetime earnings and by combining this with estimated impacts of more - effective teachers on student achievement.
Precise estimates vary, but a reasonable ballpark number is that 20 percent of the variation in student outcomes is due to school effectiveness, with most of the rest explained by family and student characteristics.
But Williams went on to document the most
precise estimates so far of how much climate change has contributed to the drought.
It is also possible that the reform did impact top performers, but that the number of observations at this mass point is too small to
obtain precise estimates...
Along with radiocarbon dating on charcoal remains from human - made fires, these analyses yielded a much more
precise estimate for the age of sediments surrounding artifacts at various depths.
In this situation, the variance in true performance is very small, so even
very precise estimates of batting averages (after lots of games) will make it hard to distinguish the best from the worst players — the estimates will be unreliable even after each player has hundreds of at - bats.
With regard to your question about «other costs», inasmuch as used car repair, maintenance, and restoration costs are highly dependent on the actual, as found, condition of the vehicle, the only way to get a
reasonably precise estimate of the total costs you might face, and also to protect yourself in the transaction, is to request a pre-purchase vehicle inspection.

For a more
precise estimate, you can look at your actual dollar spending.

a precise estimate of the appropriate P / E for Google, but given the strong tailwind of advertising moving online from traditional media, I think it is very difficult to argue that Google doesn't deserve an above - market P / E multiple.
As some of the commenters above have suggested, it is difficult to have
a precise estimate of a proportion when the event is very rare.

Until now, it's been difficult to make
a precise estimate of when this volcanic field was active.
Twenty - three of these studies reported results that were suitable for meta - analysis — a statistical method used to combine the results from multiple individual studies that are broadly similar in terms of vaccine used and types of people in the study and which is statistically more powerful and can provide a more

a precise estimate.

precise estimate of total energy released by the event and so reduce the error in their distance estimate.
