This law says that, in the long run, as we repeat a random process over and over, the proportion (or percentage) of times that an event occurs gets closer and clsoer to one number. We call that number the Probability of an event.

P(event A) = # of outcomes in event A/total # of possible outcomes
P(event A) = # of times event A occurs/total # of trials
