<p>CSV import</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Probability theory&#039;&#039;&#039; is a branch of [[mathematics]] that deals with the analysis of [[random phenomena]]. The central objects of probability theory are [[random variable]]s, [[stochastic processes]], and [[events]]: mathematical abstractions of non-deterministic events or measured quantities that may either be single occurrences or evolve over time in an apparently random fashion.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> The theory of probability began to be formulated in the 17th century in studies of [[games of chance]] by [[Gerolamo Cardano]] in the mid-sixteenth century, and by [[Pierre de Fermat]] and [[Blaise Pascal]] in the seventeenth century (for example the [[problem of points]]). [[Christiaan Huygens]] published a book on the subject in 1657.<br /> <br /> == Mathematical treatment ==<br /> <br /> The mathematical theory of probability has its roots in attempts to analyze games of chance by [[Gerolamo Cardano]] in the sixteenth century, and by [[Pierre de Fermat]] and [[Blaise Pascal]] in the seventeenth century.<br /> <br /> == Applications ==<br /> <br /> Probability theory is applied in everyday life in risk assessment and in trade on [[commodity market]], [[financial market]]s. It is also used to predict the likelihood of events happening, such as the weather, or the outcome of a football match.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Bayesian probability]]<br /> * [[Frequentist probability]]<br /> * [[Probability distribution]]<br /> * [[Probability density function]]<br /> * [[Probability mass function]]<br /> * [[Cumulative distribution function]]<br /> * [[Characteristic function (probability theory)]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://www.britannica.com/science/probability-theory Britannica: Probability Theory]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Probability theory]]<br /> [[Category:Mathematical and quantitative methods (economics)]]<br /> [[Category:Mathematical science]]<br /> [[Category:Applied mathematics]]<br /> [[Category:Mathematical analysis]]<br /> <br /> {{stub}}</div>
