Abstract
Frequentist probability is historically presented as an attempt both to overcome the limitations of classical conception and to take into account the impressive development of experimental sciences and statistics. It is precisely because of this close link with the statistical sciences that it finds a significant place in teaching. It is also an area in which the use of IT tools is crucial. This approach also makes it possible to calculate the probability of events and from it we derive the same rules examined in the classical definition, since it is sufficient to replace the ratio between the number of favorable cases and the number of possible cases with the limit of the ratio when the repeated tests tend to infinity. One of the fundamental concepts appears in the chapter, that of a random variable capable of describing events and their distribution.
