probability n.可能性；【数】或然率；机率；【统计】概率，概率论 (1) 今天下雨的可能性很大。(2) 你累的时候犯错误的可能性就会增加。(3) 有时，爱情就是一种或然率。(4) 可靠之资料储存库对估计机率和幅度是相当重要的。(5) 户内非经济户长之老年人口数则对于拥有自住房屋的机率有正的影响。 Probability is a part of math involving percentages and chance. The probability of a thing happening is the same as the odds or chances of something happening. When you watch a weather forecast, it might say there's a 30% chance of showers; that's probability. Gambling — on sports or something else — is also based on probability. Since most things in life are uncertain, it's helpful to know if the probability is high or low for things you want to do or try.
