[FOM] possibility and probability

[Lotfi A. Zadeh]

How would you differentiate, mathematically, between the propositions, 
"It is possible that p," and"It is probable that p," where p isa 
proposition which may be drawn from a natural language? This deceptively 
simple question touches upon the fundamental structure of the concepts 
of possibility and probability.
