Calculating Probability

Probability is the measure of the likelihood that a specific event will occur.
The classical approach to probability and the relative frequency approach to probability are good ways to calculate probability.
Subjective probability, which is based one’s judgment, experience, information, or belief of the event happening, should be avoided.
