Chance The likelihood or probability of an event; occurring without intent or design; (apparent) random or accidental outcome; also: an event within a system caused by factors external to that system can be termed a “chance” event; and in a sense related to probability: a random occurrence determinable or describable by probability theory, but which is the result of numerous independent and complexly-interacting factors which, in practice, render the specific causal sequence impenetrable. (see also: Probability, likelihood, random, Seeking structure in chance and randomness...)
