In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a mathematical theorem that states that the average of the results obtained from a large number of independent and identical random samples converges to the true value, if it exists. More formally, the LLN states that given a sample of independent and identically distributed values, the sample mean converges to the true mean.
A graphical example of the law of large numbers used for two dice rolls. The sum of the two dice fluctuates in the first few rolls, but as the number of rolls increases, the expected value of the sum of the two dice approaches 7.
