Probabilistic Conditionals

Probabilistic conditionals express the likelihood of one event occurring given the occurrence of another. Instead of stating an absolute cause-and-effect (like "If it rains, the ground gets wet"), they assess degrees of probability. For example, "If it rains, there is a 70% chance the ground will be wet." This approach acknowledges uncertainty and allows for more nuanced understanding of how events relate in everyday life, bridging logic and reality by reflecting how our beliefs change based on new information.
