  It is likely that the observed large-angular-scale anisotropies in the
microwave background radiation are induced by the cosmological perturbations of
quantum-mechanical origin. Such perturbations are now placed in squeezed vacuum
quantum states and, hence, are characterized by large variances of their
amplitude. The statistical properties of the anisotropies should reflect the
underlying statistics of the squeezed vacuum quantum states. The theoretical
variances for the temperature angular correlation function are derived and
described quantitatively. It is shown that they are indeed large.
Unfortunately, these large theoretical statistical uncertainties will make the
extraction of cosmological information from the measured anisotropies a much
more difficult problem than we wanted it to be.
