1.     Differentiate  between probability and possibility ? Probabilistic thinking is essentially trying to estimate, using some tools of math and logic, the likelihood of any specific outcome coming to pass. ... In a world where each moment is determined by an infinitely complex set of factors, probabilistic thinking helps us identify the most likely outcomes. Probability theory is often considered to be a mathematical subject, with a well-developed and involved literature concerning the probabilistic behavior of various systems (see Feller, 1968), but it is also a philosophical subject – where the focus is the exact meaning of the concept of probability and the ways in which it relates to the fundamental aspects of our reasoning.
