... Proof. (i) says that N is not bounded above. Assume to the contrary that it is. Then α = sup N will exist. Since α − 1 is not an upper bound of N, there will be n ∈ N : α − 1 < n. Then α < n + 1. Since n + 1 ∈ N this contradicts the fact that α is an upper bound. (ii) follows from (i) by letting x = ...

... 3.6. The Distribution of Floating-Point Numbers. The distribution of the floating point numbers in this range is not uniform. To see this consider the simple base-10 floating point system with 3-digit significant, emin = 0 and emax = 4. This has a range 10−1 < |x| < 104 , i.e., 0.1 < |x| < 10000. Th ...

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)
