Relatedly, a common confusion is the use of probability in ergodic and non ergodic processes. The best example I have come across is that of a million people playing Russian Roulette with a six chamber revolver, in repeat mode.

At any instant, only about 1/6th will get shot. However, your own probability will rapidly converge to 1 of being shot.
