Big Ideas
- The Law of Large Numbers connects theoretical and empirical probabilities by showing that empirical results get closer to theoretical predictions as the number of trials increases.
- Understanding probability concepts helps predict and interpret outcomes in real-world situations.
Essential Questions

- What does the Law of Large Numbers tell us about the results of repeated experiments?
- How can we use the Law of Large Numbers to predict outcomes more accurately?
- Why might empirical probability differ from theoretical probability in short-term experiments?
- How can understanding the relationship between theoretical and empirical probabilities help us make better decisions?
