Anyways, definitions:
Statistics: the concept that you will, on average, get at least 1 item with 10 10% scrolls working on it after each 10^10 tries (expected value). That's a prediction made on statistics, it doesn't predict whether the next scroll will work or not, just that after a sufficient ammount of tries things tend to the expected value.

Probability: the fact that there is a 10^-10 chance of getting 10 10% scrolls to work on an item.
