Abstract

Under the common viewpoint of statistical maps,the concept of observables in quantum mechanics and inclassical probability theory are discussed and compared.It is shown that, by means of injective statistical maps, quantum mechanics can to a certain extentbe reformulated in classical terms. Some characteristicexamples are considered.
