How do I simulate an outlier scan?

Open this page and use the live Law of Large Numbers tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive an outlier scan from your own measurements.

Presets

True P(heads)

Flip a coin a few times and the proportion of heads jumps around wildly; flip it thousands of times and it settles onto the true probability. That is the law of large numbers — averages converge even though individual flips stay random. Crucially, it does not mean a run of tails is "due" to reverse; that belief is the gambler's fallacy.

Governing equation

\overset{x}{ˉ}_{n} \to μ = 0.5 as n \to \infty (n = 0, ∣ \overset{x}{ˉ}_{n} - μ ∣ = 0.5000)

Reading this result: With a near-fair coin the running proportion wanders wildly at first, but the law pulls it toward 0.50 as flips pile up — and a streak of tails never makes heads “due.”

About this simulation

The full Law of Large Numbers tool models an outlier scan with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
