Imagine tossing a coin of unknown fairness. Probability gives models: a fair coin has a 50% chance of heads. Statistics uses observed tosses to estimate fairness: if you see 47 heads in 100 tosses, the sample proportion (0.47) is the point estimate; a confidence interval might show plausible values around 0.47. Bayesian analysis would combine a prior belief about fairness with the observed data to produce a posterior distribution over the coin’s bias.
