Abstract

In 2004, Chakrabarty has constructed a theoretical definition of probability, in terms of its measurement, with a view to search for some method of determining the value of the probability of an event to a random experiment. The proofs, of the two well-known laws of probability namely the additive law and the multiplicative law, by this definition have been presented in this paper.
