Classify the following statement as an example of classical, empirical, or subjective probability.Sally needs to roll a four to win the game of Candy Land and has a 1/12 chance of winning on the next roll.
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: -Empirical probability, also called experimental probability, is the probability your experiment will give you a certain result. For example, you could toss a coin 100 times to see how many heads you get, or you could perform a taste test to see if 100 people preferred cola A or cola B.

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: -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.
