That's certainly one. Smile It's the standard very broad dictionary definition though Smile Here's another more specific definition of one type of possibility Smile

And there are different definitions of probability too. For instance, there is Bayesian probability and frequentist probability Smile

Yep, I had a good listen about that on YouTube once with a guy discussing probability types in the context of quantum mechanics.

And Bayes' theorem itself is something I studied a few years ago online when learning statistics and probability for fun.
