Is It Possible to Establish the Probability of an Event

question 29

Multiple Choice

Is it possible to establish the probability of an event that has already occurred?

• A)No, because by its very nature, probability only applies to future events.
• B)No, because after an event has occurred, we can't determine what all of the other possible outcomes might have been.
• C)Yes, since we could still determine how likely the outcome was, relative to the other outcomes that might have occurred.
• D)Yes, but we can only consider the probability to be 1, since the event definitely happened.
• E)Yes, but the probability cannot be established as precisely as it could have been before the event occurred.
