Law of total variance
In probability theory, the law of total variance〔Neil A. Weiss, ''A Course in Probability'', Addison–Wesley, 2005, pages 385–386.〕 or variance decomposition formula, also known as Eve's law, states that if ''X'' and ''Y'' are random variables on the same probability space, and the variance of ''Y'' is finite, then
:\operatorname()=\operatorname_X(\operatorname(X ))+\operatorname_X(\operatorname(X )).\,
Some writers on probability call this the "conditional variance formula". In language perhaps better known to statisticians than to probabilists, the two terms are the "unexplained" and the "explained" components of the variance respecively (cf. fraction of variance unexplained, explained variation). In actuarial science, specifically credibility theory, the first component is called the expected value of the process variance (EVPV) and the second is called the variance of the hypothetical means (VHM).
There is a general variance decomposition formula for ''c'' ≥ 2 components (see below).〔Bowsher, C.G. and P.S. Swain, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2012: 109, E1320–29.〕 For example, with two conditioning random variables:
:
\begin
\operatorname() & = & \operatorname(\operatorname(X_1 , X_2 ))
+ \operatorname(\operatorname) \\
& & + \operatorname(\operatorname(X_1 )),\,
\end

which follows from the law of total conditional variance:〔
:\operatorname(X_1 )=\operatorname(\operatorname(X_1,X_2 )\mid X_1)+\operatorname(\operatorname(X_1,X_2 )\mid X_1).\,
Note that the conditional expected value is a random variable in its own right, whose value depends on the value of ''X''. Notice that the conditional expected value of ''Y'' given the ''event'' ''X'' = ''x'' is a function of ''x'' (this is where adherence to the conventional and rigidly case-sensitive notation of probability theory becomes important!). If we write E( ''Y'' | ''X'' = ''x'' ) = ''g''(''x'') then the random variable is just ''g''(''X''). Similar comments apply to the conditional variance.
One special case, (similar to the Law of total expectation) states that if A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n is a partition of the whole outcome space, i.e. these events are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, then
^(A_i)}

|-
|
| - 2\sum_^\sum_^\operatorname(X \mid A_i) \operatorname(A_i)\operatorname(X \mid A_j) \operatorname(A_j).
|}

In this formula, the first component is the expectation of the conditional variance; the other two rows are the variance of the conditional expectation.
==Proof==

The law of total variance can be proved using the law of total expectation.〔Neil A. Weiss, ''A Course in Probability'', Addison–Wesley, 2005, pages 380–383.〕 First,
:\operatorname() = \operatorname() - \right] - ^2
Now we rewrite the conditional second moment of Y in terms of its variance and first moment:
::= \operatorname \left]^2\right] - ^2
Since the expectation of a sum is the sum of expectations, the terms can now be regrouped:
::= \operatorname - ^2\right)
Finally, we recognize the terms in parentheses as the variance of the conditional expectation E():
::= \operatorname ]
