e/Equipossible

New Query

Information
has glosseng: Equipossibility is a philosophical concept in possibility theory that is a precursor to the notion of equiprobability in probability theory. It is used to distinguish what can occur in a probability experiment. For example, when considering rolling a six-sided die, why do we typically view the possible outcomes as 1,2,3,4,5,6} rather than, say, 6, not-6}? The former set contains equally possible alternatives, while the latter does not because there are five times as many alternatives inherent in not-6 as in 6. This is true even if the die is biased so that 6 and not-6 are equally likely to occur.
