In laymen terms, what are the chances of a particular event to happen (Norman & Streiner, XXXXXXXXXXLet’s say when you are flipping a coin what are the chances of its turning up head? These are the questions which are answered considering the odds and define the world of probability. The outcome of any probability related math will lie between the intervals of 0 and 1. 0 means improbable while 1 means a certainty of the event will happen. The higher the probability of any event, the more likely the event will end up occurring. The science of measuring and quantifying these numbers revolves around the world of probability. Probability roots originated from the times when people were gambling. People have been highly interested in finding the odds so that they can stake themselves in better manner in the world of gambling. The scientific study of probability later developed into a science of mathematics (Siegmund, XXXXXXXXXXThis branch of Mathematics known as Theory of Probability, revolves around the examination of unexplained events. The world of probability also consists of different kinds of perceptions and interpretations of probability. To calculate the probability of an event occurring, we will use the formula: number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes (Cook, Netuveli & Sheikh, XXXXXXXXXXThe advantage of using this technique is to quantitatively qualify one’s view on an aspect. One can use it mathematically to work upon problems for which one thought there was no solution. However, the disadvantage in this case is the fact that there is a perception which is at play here, hence solely to be driven by these results is not safe.Identify and discuss the two major categories of probability interpretations, whose adherents possess...

In this paper the tasks which will be carried out will be the following:  
 Development of a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis based on the data which 
has been collected. 
 Discussion on why the particular hypotheses has been chosen through looking into the 
concept of null hypothesis 
The data which is being considered here has been collected from a survey which is a part of 2012 
National Health Interview Survey. The survey maps all the adults in the United States, classified 
under the criteria of the age group. The data extract focus on a question which seeks information 
from participants whether they have ever been tested for HIV or not. 
Following is the data in its basic format: 
Age Group Tested Never Tested 
18–44 years 50,080 56,405 
45–64 years 23,768 48,537 
65–74 years 2,694 15,
