Law_of_Large_Numbers

The law of large numbers is a fundamental principle in probability theory that states that as the number of independent trials of an experiment increases, the empirical average (or relative frequency) of the observed outcomes converges to the theoretical probability or expected value of the event. This concept assures that with a sufficiently large number of trials, random fluctuations average out and the true underlying probability becomes apparent.

Relative_Frequency

Relative frequency refers to the ratio of the number of times a specific event occurs to the total number of trials conducted. It serves as an empirical estimate of the probability of that event. This measure becomes increasingly reliable as the number of trials increases, which is supported by the law of large numbers.

Sample_Size

Sample size is a crucial concept in statistical estimation and experimentation, denoting the number of trials or observations used in an analysis. A larger sample size reduces the variability of the estimate and increases the precision of the relative frequency as an approximation of the true probability. In the context of estimating probabilities, more trials lead to a more stable and accurate result.
