| 释义 | Law of Truly Large NumbersWith a large enough sample, any outrageous thing is likely to happen (Diaconis and Mosteller 1989). Littlewood (1953)considered an event which occurs one in a million times to be ``surprising.'' Taking this definition, close to 100,000surprising events are ``expected'' each year in the United States alone and, in the world at large, ``we can be absolutelysure that we will see incredibly remarkable events'' (Diaconis and Mosteller 1989). See also Coincidence, Strong Law of Large Numbers, Strong Law of Small Numbers, Weak Law of Large Numbers
