Probability 02
Probability 02 : (a) A basic concept that may be considered undefinable, expressing "degree of belief." Alternatively, it is the limit of the relative frequency of an event in a sequence of n random trials as n approaches infinity: (Number of occurrences of the event) / n. [Last, 1983: A Dictionary of Epidemiology]; (b) A probability assignment is a numerical encoding of the relative state of knowledge. [SRA, 1999: Glossary of Risk Analysis Terms]; (c) The chance that a particular event will occur given the population of all possible events. See: Definition For Risk. [USDOE, 2000: RAIS Glossary]
