Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Classify the following statement as an example of classical, empirical, or subjective probability.Jane tosses a coin 50 times and gets heads 28 times.
A
Classical
B
Empirical
C
Subjective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical probability refers to a probability that is based on formal reasoning. For example, the classical probability of getting a head in a coin toss is 50%. Subjective probability is the only type of probability that incorporates personal beliefs. Empirical and classical probabilities are objective probabilities.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is Subjective Probability? Subjective probability is where you use your opinion to find probabilities. For example: You think you have an 80% chance of your best friend calling today, because her car broke down yesterday and she’ll probably need a ride.

Detailed explanation-3: -Classical Probability When we roll a dice, the probability of each number is equal to 1/6 of the equal. This is an example of a classical probability.

Detailed explanation-4: -Classical: Every option has an equal chance to occur. For example, a coin can either land on heads or tails 50 percent of the time. Empirical: Based on a controlled environment, evidence will indicate the correct probability of an action.
