What is the difference between probability and possibility?
In: Mathematics
Possibility means something *can* happen. Probability is about how likely that thing is to happen.
For instance, it *is* possible for me to get a date with Yvonne Strahovski, but it is very, very, very *not* probable that I will.
On the other hand, the probability that I will need to buy more gasoline for my car as I use it is pretty much as close to 1 (100%) as possible… unless my car just outright dies on me, I will need another tank soon.
