ELI5-What is entropy?
In: 1763
Imagine you’re playing the lottery, where you (say) pick 10 out of 100 numbers, and correspondingly 10 numbers get pulled. Entropy is the number of outcomes that are compatible with a specific criteria (e.g. all numbers pulled so far are among those you previously picked). If you could sell your lottery ticket during pulls, the value of your ticket will be linked to the entropy.
