The assignment of probabilities is the most established way of measuring uncertainties on a quantitative scale. In the framework of subjective probability, the probabilities are interpreted as someone's (the agent's) degrees of belief. Since justified belief amounts to knowledge, the assignment of probabilities, in as much as it can be justified, expresses knowledge. Indeed, knowledge of probabilities, appears to be the basic kind of knowledge that is provided by the experimental sciences today.
