Solution

The answer is: "A skier believes she has a 10% chance of winning a gold medal."

This is a subjective probability because it is based on the individual's personal and subjective judgment, not on any form of mathematical calculation or empirical observation. It is influenced by the individual's personal belief, intuition, or judgment. The other options are examples of objective probabilities, which are based on mathematical calculations or empirical observations.
