Russ. Acad. Sci., Dokl., Math. 46, No. 2, 373-377 (1993); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk, Ross. Akad. Nauk 326, No. 5, 796-800 (1992).
A theory of probability with $$p$$-adic valued probabilities is generated to present a statistical interpretation to wave functions of a $$p$$-adic valued quantum mechanics. At first a frequency definition of probability is proposed in the similar way to the ordinary von Mises definition. A probability is defined as a limit of relative frequencies with respect to a $$p$$-adic topology on the field of rational numbers (relative frequencies are always rational). The next step is to create a measure- theoretical axiomatics in the same way as A. N. Kolmogorov has created the axiomatics of the ordinary theory of probability. We can tell about non-Kolmogorov theories of probability.
