What is priori approach of probability?

Priori approach assumes that all the possible outcomes of an experiment are mutually exclusive and equally likely.
The word equally likely conveys the motion of equally probable, and mutually exclusively means of one event occurs the other event will not occur.

Define the term probability.

Ans. Probability measures provide the decision-maker with the means for quantifying the uncertainties which affect the choices of appropriate actions. Understanding probability and taking decision after understanding it minimizes the risk.
