http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics: The former is a mathematical theory the latter is a mathematical science. Both can be used to deal with the quantative and qualitative behavior of physical objects in an isolated system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_system or at the least a closed system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system.
