Borel's law of large numbers, named after Émile Borel, states that if an experiment is repeated a large number of times, independently under identical conditions, then the proportion of times that any specified event is expected to occur approximately equals the probability of the event's occurrence on any particular trial; the larger the ...

Observation that in many real-life datasets, the leading digit is likely to be small For the unrelated adage, see Benford's law of controversy. The distribution of first digits, according to Benford's law. Each bar represents a digit, and the height of the bar is the percentage of ...
The law of the iterated logarithm specifies what is happening "in between" the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. Specifically it says that the normalizing function √ n log log n, intermediate in size between n of the law of large numbers and √ n of the central limit theorem, provides a non-trivial limiting behavior.
In mathematics, a law is a formula that is always true within a given context. [1] Laws describe a relationship , between two or more expressions or terms (which may contain variables ), usually using equality or inequality , [ 2 ] or between formulas themselves, for instance, in mathematical logic .

An example is the weak law of large numbers. The law states that for a sequence of independent and identically distributed (IID) random variables X 1, X 2, ..., if one value is drawn from each random variable and the average of the first n values is computed as X n, then the X n converge in probability to the population mean E[X i] as n → ∞ ...
Littlewood’s law of miracles states that in the course of any normal person’s life, miracles happen at a rate of roughly one per month. The proof of the law is simple. During the time that we are awake and actively engaged in living our lives, roughly for 8 hours each day, we see and hear things happening at a rate of about one per second.
