“The more you roll the dice, according to the law of large
numbers theorem, the more likely you are to hit an expected average

mobile handsets, the more likely Google is to hit its expected
value of market dominance over Apple’s iPhone.“”It’s a numbers game,” Rubin said. And the numbers look

accounting for 25 percent of mobile ad requests from smartphones
globally and for a whopping 46 percent in the U.S.”
