Key Concepts

Bernoulli Trials

A Bernoulli trial is an experiment or process that results in one of two outcomes commonly labeled as 'success' or 'failure'. In probability theory, each trial is independent and has a constant probability of success, which forms the foundation for analyzing experiments where events have binary outcomes, such as flipping a coin.

Binomial Distribution

The binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials. When applied to coin tossing, it provides the theoretical probabilities of obtaining a certain number of heads in a series of tosses. This distribution is defined by the number of trials and the probability of success on each trial.

Independent Events

Independent events are those whose outcomes do not affect one another. In the context of tossing coins, each toss (or each pair of tosses) is independent, meaning the outcome of one toss has no influence on the outcome of another. This principle is essential for applying probabilistic models like the binomial distribution reliably.

Law of Large Numbers

The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of trials in an experiment increases, the empirical probability (observed relative frequency) of an event tends to get closer to the theoretical probability. This is particularly important when comparing experimental results with theoretical predictions, as more trials provide a better approximation of the true probability.
