Abstract
We analyze the proof of Bell's inequality and demonstrate that this inequal ity is related to one particular model of probability theory, namely Kolmog orov measure-theoretical axiomatics from 1933. We found a (numerical) stati stical correction to Bell's inequality. Such an additional term epsilon(phi ) on the right-hand side of Bell's inequality can be considered as a probab ility invariant of a quantum state phi. This is a measure of nonreproducibi lity of hidden variables in different runs of experiments. Experiments to v erify Bell's inequality can be considered as just experiments to estimate t he constant epsilon(phi). It seems that Bell's inequality could not be used as a crucial reason to deny local realism. We consider deterministic as we ll as stochastic hidden variables models.
