Is there a probability problem that can't be solved by converting to a combinatorics problem?
Is probability just combinatorics for virgins?

Probability is just measure theory of unit total measure.

Yes.
No.

Also, probabilty is not just measure theory of unit total measure, it's about interpretations.

Unbalanced coin.

Probability uses a lot of real analysis stuff...the question is flawed to the sense that it betrays a fundamental lack of knowledge of the topics that constitute "probability"

Even measure-theoretic probability problems can at some level be broken down into set-theoretic terms. But probability in general is a way more advanced and comprehensive field than combinatorics.
But then again the term "combinatorics" doesn't have an agreed-upon definition at all.

Everything in math can be broken down into set theory. And from those set-theoretic terms you can reconstitute it into some other field. But combinatorics is in general a subfield of probability.
