Measurement Sampler
Compare exact Born-rule probabilities with finite-shot samples from fresh preparations.
Investigation
Run 20, 100, and 1000-shot thought experiments for the same state and explain why frequencies move but probabilities do not.
Learning evidence
A frequency table and a distinction between model probability and observed frequency.
Interactive check
Guided local calculation. Simulated results, not quantum hardware or a full circuit simulator.
Probabilities
- 0
- 100%
- 1
- 0%
Explanation
In the computational basis, |0> always measures as 0.

Completion checks
- Uses fresh preparations.
- Does not claim one system is measured repeatedly unchanged.
- Mentions sampling variation.
