The outcome of a random event cannot be determined before it occurs‚ but it may be any one of several possible outcomes. The actual outcome is considered to be determined by chance. * The word probability has several meanings in ordinary conversation. Two of these are particularly important for the development and applications of the mathematical theory of probability. One is the interpretation

the use of statistics and the study of probability. He gives us historical background on the development of probability studies tied to games of chance; basic ideas of probability that are part of our mental arsenal and can be used in all kinds of unexpected situations; implications on statistics. First of all‚ he talks about that probabilities take their place in every part of our life‚ how can we put statistics in our life‚ how can we calculate the probability‚ which is born in the study of games

skills can be used anytime and anywhere. For instance‚ the mathematical usage of probability can aid people in smart decision making‚ and can help people understand their odds. Statistically‚ probability refers to the relative possibility that an event will occur‚ as expressed by the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the total number of possible occurrences (SOURCE).

RETHINKING THE THIRD IN EMMANUEL LEVINAS I.
