Probability is the chance that something is likely to happen or be the case[1]. Probability theory is used extensively in areas such as statistics, mathematics, science and philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of potential events and the underlying mechanics of complex systems.

In mathematics, probabilities always lie between zero and one. An impossible event has a probability of 0, and a certain event has a probability of 1. (However, events of probability zero are not necessarily impossible, and those of probability one are not always certain.)

There are other rules for quantifying uncertainty, such as the Dempster-Shafer theory and possibility theory, but those are essentially different and not compatible with the laws of probability as they are usually understood.
Overview

Mathematically speaking, a probability is a type of function that maps sets to real numbers in the interval between 0 and 1 (end points included). In order to count as a probability, the function must be a "normalized measure", so that it satisfies what are called the axioms of probability. Roughly speaking, a probability function is just a function with a certain structure (non-negative, countably additive and normalized).

None of this mathematical talk gives much of a hint about what probability is, or what it means, however. Does probability measure the objective tendency of something to occur, or is it just a measure of how strongly one believes it will occur? In answering such questions, we interpret the probability function.

Some traditional and current interpretations of probability are presented below.

[edit] Classical definition

Main article: Classical definition of probability

The first stab at mathematical rigour in the field of probability, championed by Pierre-Simon Laplace, was known as the classical definition. Developed from studies of games of chance (such as rolling dice) it states that probability is shared equally between all the possible outcomes[2].
Frequentists posit that the probability of an event is its relative frequency over time[2], i.e. its relative frequency of occurrence after repeating a process a large number of times under similar conditions. This is also known as aleatory probability. The events are assumed to be governed by some random physical phenomena, which are either phenomena that are predictable, in principle, with sufficient information (see Determinism); or phenomena which are essentially unpredictable. Examples of the first kind include tossing dice or spinning a roulette wheel; an example of the second kind is radioactive decay. In the case of tossing a fair coin, frequentists say that the probability of getting a heads is 1/2, not because there are two equally likely outcomes but because repeated series of large numbers of trials demonstrate that the empirical frequency converges to the limit 1/2 as the number of trials goes to infinity.

after their dismall display against Bangladesh, I don't know. They seem not to be able to pick up that form. I mean they left gaguly to fight on his own. India has always has strong batsman and that fact that they have four slow bowlers doe not work well for them either.
So for the Indians, I hope they make it, but at the rate their playing hell, I don't see it happening.

On the cricket note may former SA coach and Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer rest in peace.

Let it even be a trillion dollar question.

You go to the mirror, look at yourself, into the eyes directly.

Now ask yourself, your own question.

You know the answer yourself. Its there deep inside your heart.

The moment you accept the reality, then you know the answer yourself.

Let us not believe in prayers and miracles, forcing GOD to run away.

I believe in ONE THING even though I dont do it.

BETTING .... Not the GOD ..... not the Skill .....

but it is BETTING that decides who will win.


No philosophy, only reality.

Lets forget Cricket and start living the life usefully and peacefully.

India and Bangladesh will go through to the Super 8.

I think India got a bit of a "wake up call" in their last match......Bangladesh thoroughly deserved their win.

Don't know about Super 8, but if they lose the match vs. SL, they will have to spend the rest of their lives in the West Indies....
