(a)What are some problems with the propensity definition of probability?

(b) What idea(s) inspired Karl Popper to invent the propensity definition?

(c) What is the main problem with the subjective definition of probability?

G) [E.C.] On a separate sheet of paper, prove the general law of inclusion-exclusion

Solution

A)The main challenge facing propensity theories is to say exactly what propensity means. And then, of course, to show that propensity thus defined has the required properties. At present, unfortunately, none of the well-recognised accounts of propensity comes close to meeting this challenge.

B)Popper noted that the outcome of a physical experiment is produced by a certain set of \"generating conditions\". When we repeat an experiment, as the saying goes, we really perform another experiment with a (more or less) similar set of generating conditions.

C)Subjective probabilities differ from person to person. Because the probability is subjective, it contains a high degree of personal bias.
