Abstract
Lectures presented at the 1st CERN Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics, Fukuoka, Japan, 14-27 October 2012. A pedagogical selection of topics in probability and statistics is presented. Choice and emphasis are driven by the author's personal experience, predominantly in the context of physics analyses using experimental data from high-energy physics detectors.
