Ch. 2: Probability Distributions - Pages 34-41.

We continue introducing some consequences of the probability axioms. We approach the Lottery paradox from a Bayesian perspective and study different approaches to representing probability.

Ch. 1: Beliefs and Degrees of Belief

We introduce two puzzles of binary belief: Lottery Paradox & Preface Paradox. We then consider whether we should work with graded belief instead by introducing the notion of comparative confidence.
