The probability of occurrence of event A in some experiment is 0.72. Can it be argued that in 100 of the same
The probability of occurrence of event A in some experiment is 0.72. Can it be argued that in 100 of the same experiments conducted under the same conditions, this event will occur exactly 72 times.
No you can not. In a hundred experiments, even under the same conditions, with the same probability we can get the number 72, or we may not get it. After 100 runs, we can see that the number of A events happened close to 0.72. The more experiments are carried out, the closer the overall probability in the experiment will be closer to the probability of 0.72. This is just a probability and it denotes the possibility of an event occurring. It is not an accurate description. It may also be that with 100 experiments, event A will occur 2 times, although the chances are close to 0.
