History Related to Probability

It is frequently said that something is “probably the case” or “probably not the case.” The word “probable” comes from the Latin word “probabilistic” which means “commendable”. Well, the English “probable” and “provable” have the same etymology origin. By doing scientific research of probability, we get to know that it takes the everyday ideas of recommending and gives them explanations and standardised calculation, something that tapers their preoccupation while strengthening their strength to notify.

 The very first listed proof of the theory of probability was found hopefully in the year 1550 by Cardan. In 1550 Cardan invented a manuscript in which he clearly stated that probability is an event or incident which exactly means how likely it might happen. If by chance, this manuscript became lost, then we would remain in the dark about the existence of probability. However, the manuscript did not come in the notice until 1576 and later it was printed in 1663, and then the discovery came to worldwide.

In the dilemma of gambling game, the Modern Theory of Probability began in a 1654 similarity between de Fermat and Pascal about the problem of points. Once a dispute occurred in a gambling game, and from then the chapter “Probability” was discovered in 1654 by two famous French mathematicians, Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat.
