The sample mean converges to 50 because 50 is the expected value E(X) of the random variable X (number of heads in 100 fair-coin tosses). According to the law of large numbers, as the number of trials n approaches infinity, the sample mean Xn approaches the expected value.
Conditions: The coin is fair.; X counts heads after 100 tosses.; n approaches infinity.

In this example, Xn represents the sample mean of n repeated trials of the 100-toss experiment. It is the arithmetic average of the results (number of heads) from each of the n repetitions.
Conditions: Repeated trials of the same experiment.; Each trial produces a numerical observation.; n is the number of trials.
