Abstract: Abstract The concept of probability is relevant to experiments that have some uncertain outcomes. These are the situations in which, despite every effort to maintain fixed conditions, some variation of the result in repeated trials of the experiment is unavoidable. As used in here, the term ‘experiment’ is not restricted to laboratory experiments but includes any activity that results in the collection of data pertaining to phenomena that exhibit variation. The domain of probability encompasses all phenomena for which outcomes cannot be exactly predicted in advance.
