Floods are low-probability, high-impact events that can overwhelm physical infrastructure and human communities.
This was not a low-probability event.
"But those are low-probability events, wouldn't you say?"
He announced to me, that wonders don't exist, and only low-probability events take place.
The odds of three such low-probability events happening so close to each other was almost microscopic.
In any observed data set or sample there is the possibility, especially with low-probability events and/or small data sets, of a possible event not occurring.
Scientists don't like catastrophic solutions that seem to depend on the happening of some low-probability event.
A natural explanation of these observations is that individuals overweight low-probability events such as winning the lottery, or suffering a disastrous insurable loss.
For every 100 attempts, only one or two usable crystals typically form. "It's a very low-probability event," he said.
He had been reading too much Chuut-Riit who believed in covering low-probability events.
