... But what if X= die, and Y= coin. What does X+Y mean in this case? In such a case it’s reasonable to define the “joint” random variable Z ={X,Y} whose outcomes are the ordered pairs {x,y} where x = {0,1}, and Y= {1,2,3,4,5,6}. Each outcome, such as {0,5} or {1,4}, has now a probability p = 1/12 and a ...

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)
