Describe the difference between a probability derived from the analytic view (logical analysis), the Relative Frequency view (sa
mpling from a distribution with known characteristics), and the Subjective (feeling) view. Describe situations in which each view of probability could be useful.
If and event can occur in A number of way and fail in B number of ways, then probability of its occurrence is:
or probability of its failing is:
<h3>Example:</h3>
Rolling a number smaller than 3 in a dice.
A= 2 (1,2)
B = 4 (3,4,5,6)
<h2>Relative Frequency View:</h2>
Definition of Probability in terms of past performances (data). It can be taken as how often things happens divided by all outcomes.
<h3>Example:</h3>
A batter has 50 safe hits at 200 bats, which makes his batting average which is the probability.
<h2>Subjective View:</h2>
When you define a probability due to personel beleif in the likelihood of an outcome. It involve no formal calculations and varies from person to person, depending on their past experience.
<h3>Example:</h3>
A person beleives that probability that the batter will hit safely in the next bat is 0.75
