The direct simulation Monte Carlo method is now widely used to solve the problems of rarefied gas dynamics. While solving stationary problems a special feature of the method is using dependent sample values of random variables to calculate macroparameters of a gas flow. In this paper, the possibility of using the results of statistical physics to estimate the statistical error of the DSMC method is theoretically analyzed. A simple approach to approximate evaluating the statistical error while calculating components of the velocity and temperature is proposed. The approach is tested on a number of problems.
