Probability in Our World
Question
I’m currently studying probability for the psychometric exam, and I was wondering: if the world really is deterministic, then what does probability even mean? After all, for every roll of a die or whatever, there is only one actual outcome. So why do we use probability at all, if there is no randomness whatsoever in the world?
Answer
