Statistical experiment
A statistical experiment is a random or nondeterministic experiment. Its features are that:
- each experiment is capable of being repeated indefinitely under essentially unchanged conditions.
- Although we are, in general, not able to state what a particular outcome will be, we are able to describe the set of all possible outcomes of the experiment
- As the experiment is performed repeatedly, the individual outcomes seem to occur in a haphazard manner. However, as the experiment is repeated a large number of times, a definite pattern or regularity appears.
