Probabilistic actions, methods, or arguments are based on the idea that you cannot be certain about results or future events but you can judge whether or not they are likely, and act on the basis of this judgment. (FORMAL)

Examples of use of probability theory
1. Finally, it must be appreciated that DNA statistics, while sounding impressive, are often wildly misinterpreted – sometimes deliberately so by lawyers who know that the wilder shores of probability theory are unlikely to be understood by juries.
2. I‘d guess – mathematical probability theory – that many hundreds of thousands of them wind up in M&S, Primark and Sainsbury‘s, my wicker basket‘s main sources of supply, some as cheap as 2 for five, some costing a staggering 6 for three.
