Classical probability: The Statistical concept that measures likelihood event occurring and the number of events that can be possible to occur.
Probability of event occuring= No of possible events / Total number of events
Empirical probability: Event occurring of specified possible outcome.
Repeated events/ Ratio/ Colour/ Type of vehicle etc...
Subjective probability: It's just an opinion to find the probability. Without Calculations simply delivering opinions.
Example: 50/50 chances, 80% chances of winning a game etc....
