Default Re: call me the graph maker

[ QUOTE ]
yeah but the nature of the stat is the opposite - it should converge over time.

also the 1.6 mil hand Ev graph should be in BBs IMO

This is a common fallacy. It in fact diverges does not converge. I am surprised that the majority of the people at 2+2 here do not realize this.

"Misconception 2: If run large number of coin tosses, the number of heads and number of tails become more and more equal. This is incorrect, as the LLN only guarantees that the sample proportion of heads will converge to the true population proportion (the p parameter that we selected). In fact, the difference |Heads - Tails| diverges! "
