Answer:

Subjective.

Explanation:

Classical probability:

A classical probability is a probability based on a formal reasoning, for example, probability of getting heads/tails on a coin toss.

Empirical probability:

An empirical probability is the same as experimental probability, that is, suppose 7 out of 10 people you meet are Buffalo Bills fans, so the next person has a 7/10 = 0.7 = 70% probability of being a Buffalo Bills fan.

Subjective probability:

Probability of somthing happening based on "intuition", that is, based on the person's own experience. In this exercise, we have an example of subjective probability.
