Probabilities

Probabilities

1. Probability

   • How likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a the proposition is true.

2. Experimental Probability

   • Probability that is determined on the basis of the results of an experiment repeated many times.
     • An example would be to flip a coin 40 times and record whether you get a head or a tail.

3. Theoretical Probability

   • The probability is determined on the basis of reasoning.
     • For instance, since a flipped coin has two sides and each side is equally likely to land up, the theoretical probability of landing heads (or tails) is exactly 1 out of 2.

4. Example in real life

   • Card Games: You have less probabilities to win with some cards.
     • Getting dressed: If you have many clothes color black and you want to grab something blue with your eyes closed, you have more probability to grab something black.
