Question

what is the law of large numbers?

Answer 1

In probability theory, the law of large numbers is a theorem that describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed.

For example, \[(1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 = 3.5\]

Answer 3

So, in a nutshell: the more times an experiment is performed, the greater the tendency for the results to be near the mean (or "average") of the data set.
