Probability can be used to predict traits by analyzing data from a large sample size. By calculating the likelihood of a certain trait occurring based on the frequency of its occurrence in the sample, predictions can be made about the probability of that trait appearing in future individuals. This allows for a quantitative approach to estimating the likelihood of certain traits being inherited or expressed.

Probability theory can be used to estimate the risks of genetic traits being passed down to the next generation.
