What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
Batch size interacts with the value of parallel experiments in a way worth costing out explicitly. If a single proposed experiment succeeds with probability p , and a batch of k proposals were independent, the probability that at least one succeeds is . which is why both systems ran in batches — parallel throughput converts a low per-attempt success probability into a high per-batch one. Two caveats matter in practice: proposals drawn from the same model on the same pool are correlated, so realised batch success rates fall short of this bound, and a larger batch is only worth its cost if throughput, not sample count, is the bottleneck actually being relieved.
Learn the underlying idea
An equals sign says that the expression on its left and the expression on its right have the same value under the stated definitions and assumptions.
