Hmm no... It's possible that I may choose to open a car door, get in the car, and drive to the store. Whether I do or not is a choice. It's probable that a meteorite might strike me in the head, killing me. Whether it does is out of my control. Although, on the other hand, it's possible that a meteorite might strike me, and it's probable I might need to drive to the store in a certain period of time. I guess perspective matters too.

Probabilities are (or at least can be) calculated and quantified. It is a number. Possibilities are things that CAN happens, but nobody has figured out how likely they are. It is an idea.

There may be a slight difference between the two. This is what my dictionary says. Probability;being probable,likelyhood,probable,or most probable event,extent to which event to likely to occur,measured by ratio of favourable cases to all possible cases. Possibility;state or fact of being possible,thing that may exist or happen;capability of being used or of producing good results.

Incidence of probability is remote but occurance of possibility is near future

No possible means it's capable of happening. Probably means it's likely to happen.
