Argelia is talking to her friend Adam about kayak fishing. She has been fishing many times on the Broad River, but she has never recorded the number or types of fish she caught on her trips. She also has no idea how many fish are in the Broad River. Based on her experience, she tells Adam, that if they go fishing there next weekend, she would bet that he would have a 90% chance of catching a fish.

What type of probability did Argelia use?
Select one:

Subjective Probability
Theoretical Probability
Experimental Probability

He answer is subjective probability. Subjective probability is when it has no prior calculations and the person is just guessing. Theoretical probability is when it’s based on prior calculations. Experimental probability is when you experiment and calculate.
