INTRODUCTION
Probability is a way of expressing knowledge or belief that an event will occur or has occurred.
In mathematics the concept has been given an exact meaning in probability theory, that is used
extensively in such areas of study as mathematics, statistics, finance, gambling, science, and
philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of potential events and the underlying
mechanics of complex systems.
Interpretations
The wordprobabilitydoes not have a consistent direct definition. In fact, there are sixteen
broad categories ofprobability interpretations, whose adherents possess different (and
sometimes conflicting) views about the fundamental nature of probability:
1. Frequentists talk about probabilities only when dealing with experiments that are
random and well-defined. The probability of a random event denotes the relative
frequency of occurrence of an experiment's outcome, when repeating the experiment.
Frequentists consider probability to be the relative frequency "in the long run" ofoutcomes.
[1]
2. Bayesians, however, assign probabilities to any statement whatsoever, even when no
random process is involved. Probability, for a Bayesian, is a way to represent an
individual's degree of beliefin a statement, or an objective degree of rational belief,
given the evidence.

Part 1
a) The history of probability theory
Cardano, the father of probability
Probability theory originally was used for games of chance, or better known as
gambling. A mathematician named Gerolamo Cardano used the theory of probability as
a way to analyze games of chance, and better influence his luck in the sixteenth
century. Yes, probability was used to gamble. Cardano is regarded as the father of
probability as he wrote a book on that subject. His book, known as Liberde ludo
aleae ("Book on Games ofChance"), was published in 1663, was the first book to deal
with probability systematically, as well as teaching us how to cheat with probability.
The branch of probability was further expanded upon by two mathematicians, namely
Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal in the seventeenth century. They conducted research
on the problem of points, which is a mathematical problem concerning probability.

Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat (Respectively). They built upon Gerolamo Cardanos
work.
In 1657, the field of probability was strengthened by Christiaan Huygens, who, under
encouragement from Pascal, wrote a book on the subject, called De ratiociniis in ludo
aleae ("On Reasoning in Games ofChance"), which he had published in 1657. This is
regarded as the first book on probability theory, since it was published before Cardanos
book.
Later, the branch of probability evolved into modern probability theory with the help of
Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov, who laid the foundations of modern probability. He
combined the sample space with the measure theory, creating his axiom system in
1933. This became the standardized form of probability measurement, continuing until
now.
In our daily life, The Theory of Probability is used in various occurrences. One real life
example is when we are playing cards, for example Blackjack. There are 52 cards in a
deck. Each player receives two cards. The best pair of cards that one can receive is an
Ace and one of the picture cards. Speaking in terms of probability, if there are three
players, counting the banker, each player has a 6/169 chance of getting 21 points in the
first deal.

Alternatively, the Theory of Probability is used for business. Probability is used in
business to evaluate the risk in a decision. The higher probability of success ensures a
lower chance of failing.
Probability can help us understand the seemingly random forces and ensure a risk freeenvironment. Thus it is important for us to study probability.
b) The difference between Theoretical Probability and Empirical Probability
Theoretical probability is the branch of probability concerned with the theory. There is
no concrete proof and all results are based only on calculation.
Empirical probability, as its name suggests, is based on experiments and the results
Mathematical treatment
In mathematics, a probability of an event A is represented by a real number in the range from 0
to 1 and written as P(A), p(A) or Pr(A).[6]
An impossible event has a probability of 0, and a
certain event has a probability of 1. However, the converses are not always true: probability 0
events are not always impossible, nor probability 1 events certain. The rather subtle distinction
between "certain" and "probability 1" is treated at greater length in the article on "almostsurely".
The opposite or complementof an event A is the event [not A] (that is, the event ofA not
occurring); its probability is given by P(not A) = 1 - P(A).[7]
As an example, the chance of not
rolling a six on a six-sided die is 1 (chance of rolling a six) . See
Complementary event for a more complete treatment.
If both the events A and B occur on a single performance of an experiment this is called the
intersection or joint probability ofA and B, denoted as . If two events, A and B are
independent then the joint probability is
for example, if two coins are flipped the chance of both being heads is[8]

If either event A or event B or both events occur on a single performance of an experiment this
is called the union of the events A and B denoted as . If two events are mutually
exclusive then the probability of either occurring is
For example, the chance of rolling a 1 or 2 on a six-sided die is
If the events are not mutually exclusive then
For example, when drawing a single card at random from a regular deck of cards, the chance of
getting a heart or a face card (J,Q,K) (or one that is both) is , because of
the 52 cards of a deck 13 are hearts, 12 are face cards, and 3 are both: here the possibilities
included in the "3 that are both" are included in each of the "13 hearts" and the "12 face cards"
but should only be counted once.
Conditional probabilityis the probability of some event A, given the occurrence of some other
event B. Conditional probability is written P(A|B), and is read "the probability ofA, given B". It is
defined by
[9]
IfP(B) = 0 then is undefined.

Theory
Probability theory
Like other theories, the theory of probability is a representation of probabilistic concepts in
formal termsthat is, in terms that can be considered separately from their meaning. Theseformal terms are manipulated by the rules of mathematics and logic, and any results are then
interpreted or translated back into the problem domain.
There have been at least two successful attempts to formalize probability, namely the
Kolmogorov formulation and the Cox formulation. In Kolmogorov's formulation (see probability
space), sets are interpreted as events and probability itself as a measure on a class of sets. In
Cox's theorem, probability is taken as a primitive (that is, not further analyzed) and the
emphasis is on constructing a consistent assignment of probability values to propositions. In
both cases, the laws of probability are the same, except for technical details.
There are other methods for quantifying uncertainty, such as the Dempster-Shafer theory or
possibility theory, but those are essentially different and not compatible with the laws of
probability as they are usually understood.
Empirical probability
It also known as relative frequency, or experimental probability, is the ratio of the number
favorable outcomes to the total number of trials,[1][2]
not in a sample space but in an actual
sequence of experiments. In a more general sense, empirical probability estimates probabilities
from experience and observation.[3]
The phrase a posteriori probability has also been used as
an alternative to empirical probability or relative frequency.[4] This unusual usage of the phraseis not directly related to Bayesian inference and not to be confused with its equally occasional
use to refer to posterior probability, which is something else.
In statistical terms, the empirical probability is an estimate of a probability. If modelling using a
binomial distribution is appropriate, it is the maximum likelihood estimate. It is the Bayesian
estimate for the same case if certain assumptions are made for the prior distribution of the
probability

Applications
Two major applications of probability theory in everyday life are in risk assessment and in trade
on commodity markets. Governments typically apply probabilistic methods in environmental
regulation where it is called "pathway analysis", often measuring well-being using methods that
are stochastic in nature, and choosing projects to undertake based on statistical analyses oftheir probable effect on the population as a whole.
A good example is the effect of the perceived probability of any widespread Middle East conflict
on oil prices - which have ripple effects in the economy as a whole. An assessment by a
commodity trader that a war is more likely vs. less likely sends prices up or down, and signals
other traders of that opinion. Accordingly, the probabilities are not assessed independently nor
necessarily very rationally. The theory of behavioral finance emerged to describe the effect of
such groupthink on pricing, on policy, and on peace and conflict.
It can reasonably be said that the discovery of rigorous methods to assess and combineprobability assessments has had a profound effect on modern society. Accordingly, it may be of
some importance to most citizens to understand how odds and probability assessments are
made, and how they contribute to reputations and to decisions, especially in a democracy.
Another significant application of probability theory in everyday life is reliability. Many
consumer products, such as automobiles and consumer electronics, utilize reliability theory in
the design of the product in order to reduce the probability of failure. The probability of failure
may be closely associated with the product's warranty.

FURTHER EXPLORATION
Law of large numbers
Common intuition suggests that if a fair coin is tossed many times, then roughly half of the timeit will turn up heads, and the other half it will turn up tails. Furthermore, the more often the coinis tossed, the more likely it should be that the ratio of the number ofheads to the number oftails
will approach unity. Modern probability provides a formal version of this intuitive idea, knownas the law of large numbers. This law is remarkable because it is nowhere assumed in the
foundations of probability theory, but instead emerges out of these foundations as a theorem.Since it links theoretically derived probabilities to their actual frequency of occurrence in the real
world, the law of large numbers is considered as a pillar in the history of statistical theory.[1]
The law of large numbers (LLN) states that the sample average of (independent and
identically distributed random variables with finite expectation ) converges towards thetheoretical expectation .
It is in the different forms of convergence of random variables that separates the weakand thestronglaw of large numbers
It follows from LLN that if an event of probability p is observed repeatedly during independent
experiments, the ratio of the observed frequency of that event to the total number of repetitions
converges towards p.
Putting this in terms of random variables and LLN we have are independent Bernoulli
random variables taking values 1 with probabilityp and 0 with probability 1-p. E(Yi) = p for all i
and it follows from LLN that converges to p almost surely.

REFLECTION
While I conducting the project, I had learned some
moral values that I practice. This project had
taught me to responsible on the works that are
given to me to be completed. This project also had
make me felt more confidence to do works and not
to give up easily when we could not find the
solution for the question. I also learned to be more
discipline on time, which I was given about two
weeks to complete these project and pass up to
my teacher just in time. I also enjoy doing this
project during my school holiday as I spend my
time with friends to complete this project and it
had tightens our friendship.
