Question

are these situations considered empirical, subjective or theoretical

1.In assessing a probability for rain today, a meteorologist would argue that meteorological conditions essentially the same as those prevailing at the time the forecast will be made had been experienced many times in the past and rain had resulted on 60% of those occasions. Thus, a long run frequency interpretation of the meteorlogists probability statement could still be made.Hence, the meteorologist announces that the probability of rain today is 0.60.

2. A box contains 70 red beads and 30 blue beads. Christina is going to randomly select 1 bead from the box and is interested in determining the relative frequency that the bead will be red. She determines a relative frequency of 70/100

3.Sherry goes to the race track and likes the appearance of horse # 6.On this basis, she assigns a relative frequency of 9/10 that the horse #6 will win the race.

Answer 1

empirical probability deals with long run frequencies.

theoretical deals with counting the number of possibilities

and subjective probability is a probability that is based on belief , belief of an expert or sometimes personal belief

Answer 2

would first one be subjective, 2nd one be empirical and 3rd be theoretical ?
