1. How many issues are available in describing degree of belief?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
Answer: b
Clarification: The main issues for degree of belief are nature of the sentences and the dependance of degree of the belief.

b) Logic
c) Extension of propositional logic
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: c
Clarification: The version of probability theory we present uses an extension of propositional logic for its sentences.
3. Where does the dependance of experience is reflected in prior probability sentences?
a) Syntactic distinction
b) Semantic distinction
c) Both Syntactic & Semantic distinction
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: a
Clarification: The dependance on experience is reflected in the syntactic distinction between prior probability statements.
4. Where does the degree of belief is applied?
a) Propositions
