Question 964623: Dear Reader,
Suppose there 5 numbers : 10 , 7.8 , 5.45 , 3 , 9.4
We want to assign a probability of selection for each number,
what formula is better and based on most up-to-date theory for this selection? If you kindly provide the formula may you please provide a reference of its theory?
My formula is this: P(i) = exp -a( number / max(numbers))
a = 2
Any recommended formula is invited.

Without knowing the system, how can you assign probabilities?
If they the numbers were written on slips of paper and dropped in a hat, you would assign equal probabilities, .
More information is needed to make a reasonable assignment.
