From Environment Canada: "Our experts on weather and climate have combed through 45 years of weather records, and determined the probabilities based on the following criteria:
-a "white" Christmas is defined as having at least 2 cm of snow on the ground on  December 25." 
The probability that there will be a white Christmas in Vancouver is 11%. 
The probability that there will be a white Christmas in Hamilton is 68%
    What type of probability have they used to determine these probabilities?
Question 1 options:
	Theoretical    
	Conditional    
	Experimental      
	Subjective
