Probability is a concept that cannot be "discovered." The concept of probability is ingrained in any complex organism's thought process through evolution and has been ever since complex thought evolved. To survive, animals are constantly taking statistics, weighing odds, figuring out what course of action will lead to survival. For example, an owl might hunt at night and decide to target a certain area of hunting ground, deciding that it is more probable that prey might be found in that area.

However, as a formal category of mathematics, theories regarding probabilities can be developed or "discovered." See the related question below.

The probability that a random selected female aged 60 years old will survive the year is 99.186 what is the probability that 4 randomly s?

To find the probability that all four randomly selected females aged 60 will survive the year, we can use the survival probability of 99.186% (or 0.99186). The probability that all four survive is calculated by raising this probability to the power of 4: [ P(\text{all survive}) = (0.99186)^4 \approx 0.9661. ] Thus, the probability that all four will survive the year is approximately 96.61%.
