Probability experimental and theoretical.
Long-run frequency is the most important concept in probability — and the most counter-intuitive. Running 100 coin flips and watching results converge to 50% creates an empirical experience of the law of large numbers that no lecture can replicate.
1. Toss coin 10 times. Record. 2. Toss 50 more. 3. Calculate experimental probability. 4. Compare to 0.5.
