\end{align}  where \sigma^2 is the combined variance and \mu is the combined mean. Notice that the between-class variance is simply the weighted variance of the cluster means themselves around the overall mean. Substituting $\mu = n_B(T)\mu_B(T)+n_O(T)\mu_O(T)$ and simplifying, we get  $$\sigma^2_{\text{Between}}(T) = n_B(T)n_O(T)[\mu_B(T)-\mu_O(T)]^2$ n_B(T)n_O(T)[\mu_B(T)-\mu_O(T)]^2$$
