Empirical means in the weak law of large numbers

54 Views Asked by At

I'd like to know why in the weak low of large number we talk about empirical means (plural) $\overline{X}_n$ (I'm considering a series of $n$ random variables $X_i$). Are we using the plural because we can define a mean for each random variable or for other reasons?

If possible write the formulas of at least two means in order to understand the differences between them.

I guess we just use the plural to emphasize that we consider a sequence of means, indexed by $n$.
