Single, Complete, Probability Spaces Consistent With EPR-Bohm-Bell Experimental Data

• Weshow that paradoxical consequences of violations of Bell's inequality areinduced by the use of an unsuitable probabilistic description forthe EPR-Bohm-Bell experiment. The conventional description (due to Bell) isbased on a combination of statistical data collected for differentsettings of polarization beam splitters (PBSs). In fact, such dataconsists of some conditional probabilities which only partially define aprobability space. Ignoring this conditioning leads to apparent contradictions inthe classical probabilistic model (due to Kolmogorov). We show howto make a completely consistent probabilistic model by taking intoaccount the probabilities of selecting the settings of the PBSs.Our model matches both the experimental data and is consistentwith classical probability theory.
