Abstract
Suggestive data. The inventory of possible cases cannot be reduced to an enumeration of elements, except in some very simple experiments. Such an inventory generally presupposes a rational, constructive process which, on the basis of existing information, sets up a sample space of all possible outcomes. (More accurately, of all equally possible outcomes. Without this equality of probability of all possible cases, established by rational, objective considerations, the classical definition loses its meaning.)
