Is there a logical difference between possiblity and probability?

When the term 'odds' is used, is that refering to "possiblity" or "probability", or does it have its own unique definition?

When the term 'chance' is used, is that refering to "possiblity" or "probability", or does it have its own unique definition?

Using the Powerball lottery as an example, is there a difference between the possiblity and the probability of the numbers 1 through 6 being drawn (in exact numerical order)?

I've argued that the POSSIBLITY of 1 through 6 being drawn in exact numerical order has the same POSSIBILITY as any other numbers being drawn in any order ... but that the PROBABILITY of 1 through 6 being drawn in exact numerical order is much lower then any other numbers being drawn. Am I right or wrong?

Personally, I hate it. I feel as though I have to do something because... well, its a bit sad isn't it to just stay in and go to bed! It costs at least double the amount it normally does if you do decide to go out and there’s no chance of getting a taxi home. Parties are just boring and what would actually like to do is just stay at home with a bottle of wine and fall asleep before midnight!

I conducted a survey (n=30) where people could give a score (e.g. on a scale of 1-5) on how they liked a product. I then took a subset from this survey (e.g. n=12) who meet certain criteria (e.g. they are wealthy). For both n=30 and the subset n=12 I calculated the mean of the scores and the confidence levels using the standard deviations (e.g. for n=30, the mean range is 2.9-3.3, for n=12 it's 3.1-3.8). How do I test if the two means are statistically different. Do I just have to check if the mean ranges overlap? If so, are they then statistically indifferent? What if the ranges are 2.8-3.3 and 3.3 to 3.7, does this count as an overlap?

I got a 99 VW Passat about 2 years ago and all I have had is problems with it... It seems like something is always going wrong. In the last year I have spent $2400 in repairs and it only has 75,000 miles. Is this typical of a VW Passat?

For some reason I thought if you had a work related injury, hospitals had to bill the workers comp and it was illegal for them to bill any private medical insurance. I know auto insurance has a cap, like $100,000 personal injury and once that runs out the medical insurance starts being billed but for some reason I thought it was different with work comp claims. Was I wrong?
