Question

The Law of large numbers states that as the number of repetitions of an experiment n increases, the relative frequency (experimental) probability approaches the actual (true) probability. If a "fair" coin is tossed 1,000,000 times, one would expect the probability (not the number of heads) of obtaining "heads" to be close to _____.
