Laplace's Rule of Succession (LRS)
[!info] Pierre-Simon Laplace
If some event occurred m times in n observations,
the probability the event will occur in the next observation
is given by:
\frac{1+m}{2+n}
Rule of Five
The probability that any given sample is above the median is 50%.
The probability that the minimum and maximum values of n samples
don't straddle the median is (\frac{1}{2})^{n},
equivalent to getting the same result on a flipped coin
n times in a row.
There is a 93.75% chance that the median of a population is between the smallest and largest values in any random sample of five from that population.
