    The term law of total probability is sometimes taken to mean the law of alternatives, which is a special case of the law of total probability applying to discrete random variables. [ citation needed ] One author uses the terminology of the "Rule of Average Conditional Probabilities", [ 4 ] while another refers to it as the "continuous law of ...

    "spinner" will have an interactive spinning wheel and a fidget spinner [108] which can be toggled via the switch. For the spinning wheel, a dropdown menu can change the number of numbers on the wheel: from 2 to 20. [109] Whereas for the fidget spinner, users have to mimic a rotating motion [108] in order for the spinner to spin.
