Empirical is observational probability, classical is equal chance for any outcome, subjective is an estimate or educated guess.

classical - probability referring to cases containing elements that are equally likely to happen.

Example- your lottery ticket winning vs everyone else's.

empirical- probability of an event based on the results of an actual experiment conducted several times.

Example- the probability of a washing machine needing repairs is high based off of 6 years of data collected.

subjective- probability derived from an individual's personal judgment about whether a specific outcome is likely to occur.

Example- an analyst feels that a certain stock's probability of decreasing is low.
