    My understanding would be:

    • Probabilities: Chance of a certain outcome happening. E.g. Outcome A has a 70% chance B a 20% and C 10%

    • Possibilities: what outcome scenarios exist. E.g. there exist 3 (A B C).

    • Plausibility: looks at the degree of truth of a statement. So if it logically makes sense and is the correct answer/is what happened.

      A coin toss has two possible outcomes (possibilities). Head and tails.

      There is also the extreme implausibility with a <1% probability that it will land on its edge but still more possible than 1000 heads in a row.

        1 in 6000 chance for an American nickel, which has a thicker side than most. Just for others sake. I felt it was far less than just <1% and had to find out.
