You can put this solution on YOUR website!
What is the difference between
classical probability::: By definition P(event) = (# of ways to succeed)/(# of possible outcomes.
-----------------------
empirical probability::: You run an experiment with a coin. Based on
observation you conclude P(heads) = # of heads you get/# of tosses of the coin
-----------------------
subjective probability::: You speculate that the probability it will rain
tomorrow is 40%
-----------------------
