Abstract

The Sleeping Beauty Paradox is an unavoidable issue in probability philosophy. According to this paradox, the basic assumptions of probability philosophy will lead to conclusions that are highly inconsistent with intuition. Analyzing the two different viewpoints held by scholars on this issue, it can be found that they have a fundamental misunderstanding of each other in understanding the setting of this paradox, that is, they have not made appropriate distinctions between relative frequency and probability tendency. The multi world interpretation provides a new theoretical framework for describing probabilistic events, that is, describing the different consequences of a probabilistic event as a split world branch structure. By using this description, different types of probabilities can be clearly distinguished, misunderstandings can be avoided, and the Sleeping Beauty paradox can be eliminated.
