probabilities  

DEFINITION(S)

  • probability theory, formalized from the 17th century onwards, is the oldest framework for modeling uncertainty, and is still the most widely used. From the outset, probabilities have had a dual character, referring either to frequencies of events (obtained statistically), or to subjective degrees of belief ("I think I have an 80% chance of getting my degree"). The probability measure of "A or B" breaks down additively for mutually exclusive events. Consequently, the probability of "not A" is the complement (to 1) of the probability of "A".
