    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Any application of probability under the frequentist interpretation thus presupposes stable, law-governed regularities in nature.

    Empirical science has successfully applied frequentist methods only in domains where natural laws appear stable, suggesting this presupposition is necessary for the framework's applicability.

    Key Terms

    Applicability(as used in logic and ethics)
    Whether or how well something can be applied or used in a particular situation.
    Empirical science(as the scientific method being discussed)
    Knowledge gained through observation, experimentation, and testing in the real world rather than just thinking about ideas—the kind of science done in labs.
    Frequentist methods(as used in statistics and scientific methodology)
    A way of analyzing data that looks at how often something happens in repeated tests to figure out the probability of it occurring—like if you flip a coin 100 times and count heads to predict future flips.
    Natural laws
    Laws grounded in nature, which, since nature is God's creation, are also of divine institution.
    presupposition(Used to distinguish conditions required for an obligation from the grounds of the obligation)
