• We show that the statistics of the continued fraction expansion of a randomly chosen rational in the unit interval, with a fixed large denominator q, approaches the Gauss-Kuzmin statistics with polynomial rate in q. This improves on previous results giving the convergence without rate. As an application of this effective rate of convergence, we show that the statistics of a randomly chosen rational in the unit interval, with a fixed large denominator q and prime numerator, also approaches the Gauss-Kuzmin statistics. Our results are obtained as applications of improved non-escape of mass and equidistribution statements for the geodesic flow on the space SL2(R)/SL2(Z).
