The Law Of Large Numbers Is Very Strong Here
Mathematicians having an existential crisis over "probably"! ๐Ÿ™ˆ Poor Borel just wanted to explain probability basics, but the math community is like "EXCUSE ME?! It's EXACTLY 50 heads with a standard deviation of โˆš(npq) = 5, and the probability approaches 0.0795 according to the central limit theorem!" Mathematicians don't do "probably" - they do "with 95% confidence intervals" or nothing at all! The monkey's face is every math student when their professor says "it's trivial to prove..."

The Sacred Number 30: Statistics Vs. Pure Math
The eternal struggle between mathematical purity and statistical pragmatism! Pure mathematicians pride themselves on elegant proofs and logical necessity, while statisticians are over here like "n=30 is good enough for Central Limit Theorem, don't @ me." The magical number 30 appears everywhere in statistics because it's roughly where sample distributions become normal enough for parametric tests. No deep mathematical reason - just a practical threshold where things start working. It's the statistical equivalent of "eh, close enough" and I'm dying at how perfectly Patrick represents every stats professor I've ever had.
