probability(as used in mathematics and logic)
A number between 0 and 1 that describes how likely something is to happen; 0.5 means 50% chance, 1 means certain, 0 means impossible.
strict conditionalization(Bayesian epistemology)
A rule for updating subjective probabilities in which, upon learning evidence E with certainty, an agent sets their new probability for any proposition H to the prior conditional probability P(H|E)
