Discussion Overview
Review the discussion requirements.
There are three types of probabilities discussed in your readings. They are classical probability, empirical probability, and subjective probability.
Post 1: Initial Response
From your own experience either personally or professionally, provide an example of when you have encountered or used each of the three types of probability: classical, empirical, and subjective. Start with a description of the type of probability, then be sure to include your example for each type.

One of the key differences between empirical probability and subjective probability is that empirical probability requires the collection of a data sample and subjective probability is based on personal experience. In response to one of your classmate’s posts, determine if they explained and correctly identified this difference. If incorrect, offer them a correct example. If correct, share what method you think they used to collect data for the empirical probability example.

Review the explanations and examples for each of the three types of probability given by one of your classmates. Are their examples valid? Explain why or why not. Next, share a real-life example for one of the following situations:
Describe a situation where two or more events would be mutually exclusive. Explain why you think these events are mutually exclusive.
Describe a situation where two or more events would be dependent. Explain why you think these events would be dependent.
