Abstract
1. It is a pleasure for me that my subject at this colloquium is probability. I think there is no domain of rational activity (daily life excepted) where the use of models is as direct, as palpable, as little problematic as it is in applied probability. So I think my task is much easier than that of anyone who has dealt with models at this colloquium.
