Threshold in N(n,p)
... We are interested in the threshold for when there is an arithmetic progression of length k. Where the arithmetic progression looks as: a, a+b, a+2b, a+3b; all of which are elements of the progression set. Let Xk be the number of arithmetic progressions of length k: E(Xk)=n2pk This is justified by th ...

Benford`s very strange law
... By the same kind of analysis we can determine the probability that the second digit will have a certain value. It's only necessary to consider a single order of magnitude, since the pattern is repeated on each order. For example, in the base 10, the probability of the second digit being "3" is equal ...

... this distribution of the random variable in ten trials: {1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3}. If you place this set in listL1 and calculate 1-Var Stats, you will find that the mean is 1.5 and the standard deviation is 0.6708203932. Squaring the standard deviation to obtain variance yields 0.4499999999, or 0.45. La ...

Law of large numbers
In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) 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.The LLN is important because it ""guarantees"" stable long-term results for the averages of some random events. For example, while a casino may lose money in a single spin of the roulette wheel, its earnings will tend towards a predictable percentage over a large number of spins. Any winning streak by a player will eventually be overcome by the parameters of the game. It is important to remember that the LLN only applies (as the name indicates) when a large number of observations are considered. There is no principle that a small number of observations will coincide with the expected value or that a streak of one value will immediately be ""balanced"" by the others (see the gambler's fallacy)
