Yes, you can be convicted.

The issue there is whether the police were acting on the statement in good faith or if they knew the statement to be false. If the police were not acting in good faith (eg suborning perjury to obtain the statement), or failed to obtain a warrant at all, any evidence obtained from that search may be deemed to be inadmissible. But generally one person's statement would not be enough for the police to obtain a warrant but also some sort of actual evidence.

How was probable cause established?

Probable cause is determined by a statement of the facts in a case, including how much evidence the police have to prove their case. Probable cause is the determination that it is likelier than not a person has committed a crime or is committing a crime. There are different levels of probable cause, including for search warrant and for an arrest warrant. A probable cause for a search warrant isn't necessarily a probable cause for an arrest, and vice versa

How many piece's of evidence do the police have to have before they arrest you?

One, if it's a really good one. Or maybe none if there are witnesses, if you have no alibi, if there is probable cause that you 'done the crime'.Any number of factors that create probable cause can result in arrest, from a single credible witness statement to actual video of the crime.
