There are three types of probabilities:
| Empirical Probability | - Based on observed or historical data.
|
| Subjective Probability | - Based on an individual’s judgement about the probability of occurrence of an event.
- The probability of an event is determined by an individual, based on that person’s past experience, personal opinion, and/or analysis of a particular situation.
|
| Priori Probability | - Based on prior knowledge.
- Involves deductive reasoning.
