The theory for manifestation of stochastic appearance of embryos in the global decay of metastable phase has been constructed. The regime of droplets growth is supposed to be both free molecular one and diffusion one. The deviation for a mean droplets number from the value predicted by the theory based on averaged characteristics have been calculated. The value of dispersion for the distribution of the total droplets number in particular attempt has been also calculated analytically. Comparison with results of numerical simulation has been given and the correspondence between simulation and analytical approximate results is rather good.
