The Possibilities and Probabilities Experiment
Possibilities
- Possibilities refer to the range of potential outcomes or options that may be available in each situation. They are the different alternatives or choices that one can consider in each scenario. Possibilities are often thought of as a set of potential states or outcomes and can be thought of as existing on a continuum from highly likely to highly unlikely.
Probabilities
- Probabilities, on the other hand, are a measure of the likelihood of a particular outcome or event occurring. They are often expressed as a number between 0 and 1, with 0 indicating that an event is impossible and 1 indicating that an event is certain. Probabilities are often used to quantify the likelihood of different possibilities and can be thought of to assign a numerical value to the likelihood of a particular outcome or event occurring.
In most cases, possibilities and probabilities are closely related. For example, when considering the possibility of flipping a coin and getting a head or a tail, the probability of getting a head is 0.5, and the probability of getting a tail is also 0.5. Possibilities and probabilities can also be used together to make predictions or inform decision-making, such as in statistical analysis or risk assessment.
In other words
Probability and Possibility are related concepts, but they are not the same thing. Probability deals with the likelihood or chance that something will happen, usually expressed as a number between 0 and 1 or as a percentage. Possibility, on the other hand, refers to whether something can happen or not. It’s a statement of whether a certain event is possible or not, regardless of how likely it is to happen.
For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it is landing on heads is 0.5 or 50%. That means there’s a 50% chance that the coin will land on heads. Possibility, in this case, is whether it is possible for the coin to land on heads or not, which is yes.
Another example is, Possibility of living on Mars is possible with current technology and research, however, the probability of humans living on Mars is low because of the lack of infrastructure and excessive cost of living on Mars.
The Possibilities and Probabilities Experiment
In summary, Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to happen, while possibility is a statement of whether an event can happen or not, regardless of how likely it is to happen.
