probability and statistics.
as a statistic, it tells you the percentage of women who prefer tea to coffee.
as a probability, the same statistic is used to predict the probability that, if you take a sample of n women, there is a likelihood that somewhere around 43/100 of them will say they prefer tea to coffee.

This sample is both an example of probability and statistics because statistics tell the % of women who prefer tea over coffee. Probability is that is a sample of "x" women is taken than there is a possibility that somewhere roughly 43 of 100 women will report that they prefer tea over coffee.
