Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proportion of times a particular event A occurs under identical conditions is a measure of its frequency. As the phenomenon is observed many times, the proportion of occurrences of event A becomes a reliable estimate of the probability of event A occurring. Therefore, the proportion represents the probability of the event A.
