What's the difference between probabilist and probability?
Probabilist
Definition:
(n.) One who maintains that certainty is impossible, and that probability alone is to govern our faith and actions.
(n.) One who maintains that a man may do that which has a probability of being right, or which is inculcated by teachers of authority, although other opinions may seem to him still more probable.

Probability
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being probable; appearance of reality or truth; reasonable ground of presumption; likelihood.
(n.) That which is or appears probable; anything that has the appearance of reality or truth.
(n.) Likelihood of the occurrence of any event in the doctrine of chances, or the ratio of the number of favorable chances to the whole number of chances, favorable and unfavorable. See 1st Chance, n., 5.
Example Sentences:
