This is an example of empirical probability.

Subjective

Probability:  This article uses mainly the axiomatic notion of probability but touches on the subjective and empirical notions as well. 

Empirical Probability, its eggselent!!

subjective

This would probably be an axiomatic notion of probability, as it places the approval of past presidents with the current president. If it were taken from the perspective of whether or not President Obama will be elected for a second term, though, it could be seen as subjective probability statistics. 

This uses empirical probability, since although it isn't cited, it presumably uses data to assess the probability

This article approaches probability axiomatically. The scientists first estimated how many of the fragments of satellite would burn up on reentry based on their size. Then, for the components they expect survived the reentry, they determined the probability that they would hit any populated area and cause damage. They reasoned that since most of the planet's surface is water, there is a greater probability for the satellite debris to land in the ocean rather than on land.

The data is empirical, although the validity of the claims may not be that soild. They took the latest poll results for each state and translated them into probabilities.

This is empirical because it uses data from 1200 adults in two different areas. Though it might be subjective because not everyone tells the truth about cheating at anything

Axiomatic

I'm not sure this is subjective or empirical because somebody might have made calculation about it.

Axiomatic probability

65% probability of another recession occuring in the next few months

Empirical probability since a survey was conducted

Totally subjective. Fighter gambling stats are based partially on numbers, and mostly on what will make UFC the most money. If the stats were legitimate, which they're not, then it would be axiomatic (assuming they just use the discrete values of wins to losses)

Shows the odds of the Boston Red Sox making the playoffs as the season goes on and then in the final days of the collapse. Most of this data is empirical probability

Subjective

empirical probability (skip to 1:00)

the probability seems to be empirically based because it's a scientific prediction from the Tokyo's earthquake research center

"Beau's caretakers at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn say he has a 94 percent accuracy rating..." I'd say this is an example of subjective probability.
