Question

Classify the statement as an example of classical probability, empirical probability, or subjective probability. Explain your reasoning. Given a patient's health and family history, a doctor thinks that the patient has a 95% chance of a full recovery. Choose the correct answer below. A. Subjective probability because the probability results from an estimate. B. Empirical probability because the probability results from an estimate. C. Classical probability because the probability is based on observations obtained from a probability experiment. D. Classical probability because each outcome in the sample space is equally likely. E. Empirical probability because the probability is based on observations obtained from a probability experiment. F. Subjective probability because each outcome in the sample space is equally likely.

Explanation / Answer

This is a subjective type of probability because there is no data given for calculating the 95% probability.

Here the doctor is making a guess or estimating on his past experiments.

Hence option (A) is correct
