We provide a combinatorial description of exclusion statistics in terms of minimal difference p partitions. We compute the probability distribution of the number of parts in a random minimal p partition. It is shown that the bosonic point p = 0 is a repulsive fixed point for which the limiting distribution has a Gumbel form. For all positive p, the distribution is shown to be Gaussian.
