... Let X be an integer in the range 10..20. P(x) = 1/11 for x = 10,11,12,13,14,..20 To find E(X): Let Y be a number in the range 1..11. Thus, E(X) = (1+11)/2 = 6. Now, X = Y + 9. E(X) = E(Y+9) = E(Y) + 9 = 6+9 = 15 Var(X) = Var(Y+9) = Var(Y) = (112 – 1)/12 = 10 Note: the Discrete Uniform Distribution i ...

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)
