Apr 13, 2014 at 12:43 | comment | added | Bakuriu | Nice question! Your question is pretty deep also if we consider the technical meaning of probability and possibility. For example even if we define "probable" as "having probability bigger than 0", still probable != possible and improbable != impossible, because events that have probability 0 can be possible (e.g. guessing correct lottery number from a lottery that uses the whole natural number set). Possible/Impossible only related to the existence of such event, while probable/improbable can define the likelihood that the event. | |

Apr 13, 2014 at 9:00 | comment | added | nima | I can not understand the difference between IMPROBABLE AND IMPOSSIBLE. Moreover, I can not understand the difference between POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE too. | |

Make title more informative. Improve wording. Retag.
