I have to find the uncertainty of a quantity $Q$ doing two mean values. For example for a set of parameters I measure ten times $Q$, I obtain a mean value $Q_1$ and variance ${\rm Var}(Q_1)$. Then for a different set of parameters I measure ten times $Q$ and obtain $Q_2$ and ${\rm Var}(Q_2)$ etc. At the end I compute the mean value which is the sum of $Q_i$ but these 10 from one set of parameter to the other are correlated so I don't know how to compute the variance.
Put differently, I don't know how to compute the variance if I have two averages.
