Subjective or personal probabilities.
The first rule for probability.
A probability is a number between 0 and 1.
The second rule for probability.
The sum of the set of all probabilities equals 1.!
P(S) = 1

The complement rule for probability.
For two independent events A and B, the probability that both A and B occur is the product of the probabilities of the two events.
The multiplication rule for probability.
