Math 216: Statistics for Engineering

Subjective

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.

This article contains axiomatic probability because it checks the ways this specific event can occur (West Antarctic Sheet collapsing) and compares it to the number of outcomes that can occur (whether it collapses or remains). 

For all the odds that don't really matter.

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

Empirical probability of a large scale earthquake in Tokyo within the next 4-30 years.

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.

Axiomatic

I think this would be empirical because they use previous cases to determine probability of developing ADHD.

I believe this is empirical, since he is using polls to determine the probability of winning the election.

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

Non-native Burmese pythons introduced to Florida 30 years ago are likely causing mammal decline in the area (the probabilities presented in the article are subjective).

Interprets the variance in a batter's average on a year to year basis and tries to determine how much of an effect a hitter's and pitcher's relative skills have on balls in play.  Uses empirical probability methods with batting averages.

subjective

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)

This is subjective probability

probability: empirical since it is based on an experiment
