Best Answer

The law of large numbers is a principle of probability and statistics.

It states that as a sample size increases, its mean will get closer to the average of the whole population.

Difference between act and statute?

What's the difference between an act, a statute and a law? There's no cut and dried answer, but a good way to think about it is this: •Act: a bill passed by both houses of Congress that has become law. Acts can be published as Slip Laws or "newly enacted legislation"; see Publishing the Law. Acts aren't published together, but individually. Once published in Statutes at Large, they're the same as a statute. Statute: A law enacted by a legislature. "Statute" and "session law" can be used interchangably. Statutes are published in United States Statutes at Large; see Publishing the Law. However, Statutes at Large isn't cumulative - each volume represents a particular legislative session. Note: Because electronic access to laws allows for immediate updates to the Statutes at Large, the forgoing distinction will eventually not be necessary and is already pretty blurry. •Law: The body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a community. Laws would appear in the U.S. Code; see Publishing the Law. Unlike Statutes at Large, a law stays in the U.S. Code as long as it remains in force. Therefore, in a limited sense, each edition of the U.S. Code is cumulative because it contains all the currently valid law for the United States, regardless of when it became law. The benefit of differentiating between acts, statutes and laws this way is that it allows you to associate a particular publication with a particular term, thus clarifying your research tasks. If you need the law, go to the U.S. Code. If you need the act as passed, go to either the Slip Laws or the Statutes at Large~


Why did northern states ignore the fugitive slave laws?

They didn't ignore them. They reacted sharply against them. Under the new law, members of the public were obliged to report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway slave, on pain of a heavy fine. This offended large numbers who had not felt strongly about the slavery question before, and it recruited many new people to the Abolitionist cause. This increased the numbers who helped to organise the Underground Railroad, the safe-house network which smuggled fugitives into Canada.

How much do you make a year with a masters degree in law?

A law degree is a doctorate. There is an advanced law degree, known as an LLM, that is generally referred to as a Master of Laws, but it is a post doctorate degree, not a masters degree. JDs make anywhere from $20,000-$2 million/year, depending on what they do and who they do it for. LLMs generally work in academia, and also have a large salary variation, depending on their position.
