How large is that number in the Law of Large Numbers?
My statistics class at high school level taught the following:<p>The number of samples you need is very difficult to calculate correctly, requiring deep analysis of standard deviations and variances.<p>But surprisingly, you can simply know you've reached large number status when over 10 items exist in each category.<p>---------<p>Ex: when doing a heads vs tails coin flip experiment, you likely have a large number once you have over 10 heads and over 10 tails. No matter how biased the coin is.<p>Or in this 'Lotto ticket' example, you have a large number of samples after gathering enough data to find over 10 Jackpot winners.
