Probability in Science, Philosophy and Everyday Life
Original language description
The paper discusses two possibilities how to enrich usual probability classes. From didactical point of view, one of interesting topics is the subjective interpretation of probability, which uses the principle of betting. The connection of betting rateswith probabilities helps to demonstrate how probability theory and its abstract axioms relate to the real world; students can also easily realize that unless they have better information than bookmakers, betting cannot bring them a long-run profit. The second discussed topic is geometric probability, a substantial tool for extracting quantitative information on spatial objects (human beings or animals and their organs, blood vessels, tissues, tumours etc., plants, rocks, metals etc.) from probes of lower dimension. Since we are surrounded and even formed by such structures, geometric probability plays an important role for exploring and understanding the world around us.
