Suppose a randomly selected passenger is about to go through the metal detector at LAX. Consider the following two outcomes: the passenger sets off the metal detector and the passenger does not set off the metal detector. If you are to find the probability of these two outcomes, would you use the classical approach or the relative frequency approach? Explain why. B) The coach of a college football team thinks there is .75 probability that the team will win the national championship this year. Is this the case of classical, relative frequency or subjective probability? Explain why
