quantum mechanics - Differences between wavefunction, probability and probability density?


I am trying to understand the differences between wavefunction, probability and probability density. There are different definitions on the internet.


For example:

My questions are:


Which one is true?



What is the difference between three of them(wavefunction, probability and probability density)?
