Probabilistic Explanation

Quantum physics gives us reason to believe that some processes are inherently probabilistic: there is a 50% chance that a radioactive atom will decay during its half-life, and no other information can make us sure that this atom will decay. Also, many events are effectively probabilistic for us, such as the roll of a die. How can we explain these sorts of events?
