Dalam teori probabilitas, hukum bilangan besar adalah hukum matematika yang menyatakan bahwa rata-rata hasil yang diperoleh dari sejumlah besar sampel acak independen konvergen ke nilai sebenarnya, jika ada.[1] Secara lebih formal, hukum bilangan besar menyatakan bahwa jika diberikan sampel berisi nilai-nilai yang independen dan terdistribusi secara identik, nilai rata-rata sampel akan konvergen ke nilai rata-rata sebenarnya.
