European Definition

ENISA

Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to occur. [1]


European Project Definitions

CIPRNet project

The CIPRNet project [2] uses the following definition:

Probability is the measure of the chance of occurrence expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 is impossibility and 1 is absolute certainty.


National definitions

Canada

Probability: In statistics, a measure of the chance of an event or an incident happening. [3]



Colombia

Probabilidad: Posibilidad de que algo ocurra bien sea que se haya definido, medido, o estimado objetiva o subjetivamente, o en términos de los descriptores generales (tales como raro, improbable, probable, casi cierto). La probabilidad puede expresarse cuantitativa o cualitativamente. [4]



Denmark

Sandsynlighed er forekomsten af en bestemt hændelse udtrykt ved et tal mellem 0 og 1 (eller mellem 0 og 100%), hvor 0 betegner en fuldkommen usandsynlig forekomst og 1/100% en hel sikker forekomst. Se også hyppighed. [5]



Peru

Probabilidad: Define la posibilidad de que ocurra un evento o se dé un resultado. [6]

La probabilidad puede variar entre cualitativa, mediante descripciones de términos tales como posible o altamente confiado, a rangos cuantificados y cálculos únicos, según el nivel de comprensión de las causas de los eventos, series cronológicas históricas y condiciones futuras (DT 4). Refiérase también a riesgo.

United Kingdom (UK)

Probability is used to describe the chance or relative frequency of particular types of event occurring. [7]

It can also include sequences or combinations of such events.


United States

Likelihood that is expressed as a number between zero and one, where zero indicates that the occurrence is impossible and one indicates definite knowledge that the occurrence has happened or will happen, where the ratios between numbers reflect and maintain quantitative relationships. [8]



Standard Definition

ISO Guide 73:2009

Measure of the chance of occurrence expressed as a number between 0 and 1 where 0 is impossibility and 1 is absolute certainty. [9]


Other Definitions

Ontario (Canada)

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring that may result in an emergency, disaster or service disruption. [10]


Probabilité: survenance prévisible d’un événement susceptible de causer une situation d’urgence, un sinistre ou une perturbation de services. [10]
