Abstract

Excluding the concept of probability in quantum mechanics, we derive Born's law from the remaining postulates in quantum mechanics using type method. We also give a way of determining the unknown parameter in a state vector based on an indirect measurement model. While Deutsch adopt a concept of rational decision-maker who introduces probability, we adopt a concept of statistician in our measurement model and clarifies the distinguished feature of quantum measurement. Like many worlds interpretation, our scenario gives a simple solution for problem of measurement.
