Answer 1

If you do something that is subject to random chance a lot of times, the observed average outcome will converge on the theoretical average outcome.

Example: the theoretical average outcome of a six-sided die is 3.5 ((1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) / 6). If you roll it 10,000 times, you’ll end up with an average that is very close to that.
