Impossible means that it cannot, in any way, ever, happen.

Improbable means that it could happen but is extremely unlikely.

Please note though that in everyday speech some things are referred to as impossible when in fact they are merely improbable.

From a probability standpoint this is not a true statement. Probability can be equal to zero for an event, indicating that it is impossible. The difference between 'impossible' and 'improbable' from a probability standpoint is that an impossible event has a probability of 0 while an improbable event has a very, very small probability.
