Quotes by Siméon Denis Poisson (?)

“The probability of an event is the reason we have to believe that it has taken place, or that it will take place.

The measure of the probability of an event is the ratio of the number of cases favourable to that event, to the total number of cases favourable or contrary, and all equally possible.”
― Siméon Denis Poisson
