Probability: The Logic of Science

Probability is the numeric description of how likely an event is to occur and how likely it is that the proposition is true. It occurs between zero and one, where zero shows impossibility and one indicates certainty. Practically, there are two categories of probability interpretation. These are objectivists and subjectivists. Objectivists allocate numbers to define some physical or objective state of affairs whereas subjectivists allocate number per subjective probability. The field finds its applications in other areas such as computer science, philosophy, mathematics, artificial intelligence/machine learning, finance, statistics and game theory.
