as a procedure is repeated again and again, the relative frequency of an event tends to approach the actual probability. this is known as dropdown with options: subjective probability, the rare event rule, an impossible event, the law of large numbers

Explanation:

• Subjective probability: Based on personal judgment, not related to relative frequency approaching actual probability. Eliminate.
• The rare event rule: Deals with determining if an event is unusual, not about relative frequency approaching probability. Eliminate.
• An impossible event: Has a probability of 0, not related to the described concept. Eliminate.
• The law of large numbers: States that as a procedure is repeated, the relative frequency of an event approaches its actual probability. This matches the description.

Answer:

the law of large numbers
