statistical probability
Mathematically computed chance
Statistical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 and 1 (or as a percentage), derived from observed data or mathematical calculation.
Unlike intuitive or subjective estimates, statistical probability relies on frequency analysis or formal models: The statistical probability of rolling a six is one in six.
In scientific and technical contexts, it quantifies uncertainty and informs predictions.
