Abstract
Without confidence intervals, any simulation is worthless. These intervals are quite ever obtained from the so called "sampling variance". In this paper, some well-known results concerning the sampling distribution of the variance are recalled and completed by simulations and new results. The conclusion is that, except from normally distributed populations, this distribution is more difficult to catch than ordinary stated in application papers.
