The diference between "highly likely" and "highly probability"
Is there any difference between "it is highly likely that", "it is highly probability that " and "it is highly possible that" ? Is there any phrase on above you feel that it is not suitable for daily conversation or it sound too academic if I use it when I talk with my friends?
Can I use those 3 phrases in the same situation? If there is any difference, please explain it and it would appreciate if you wirte any example. Thank you.

The expression is "it is highly probaBLE" (probable - adjective probability - noun) Yes, they all have almost the same meaning, although usually "probable" is more certain than "possible". There's nothing wrong with these expressions, but "the chances are..." is slightly more casual. (for example, "the chances are that they will arrive tomorrow".)

There is not really a difference unless we bring math in haha. I would mostly use "it is highly possible that" rather than the other phrase.. but using "probable" opposed to "likely" isn't at all bad or uncomfortable. I guess its just about how someone talks, if you feel comfortable using one as opposed to the other use it.
