law of large numbers

A statistical axiom that states that the larger the number of exposure units, the greater the probability that actual loss experience will equal expected loss experience. Simply put, the credibility of data increases as the number of samples increases. The law of large numbers applies to the actuarial process by which an insurer decides whether to issue a policy and how much to charge. The law of large numbers may also apply to the claims process.
