ABSTRACT

In this chapter I shall only deal with the probability of events and the problems it raises. They arise in connection with the theory of games of chance, and with the probabilistic laws of physics. I shall leave the problems of what may be called the probability of hypotheses-such questions as whether a frequently tested hypothesis is more probable than one which has been little tested-to be discussed in sections 79 to 85 under the title of ‘Corroboration’.
