Tõenäosete

Tõenäosete is an Estonian word that translates to "probable" or "likely" in English. It is used to describe events or outcomes that have a high chance of occurring. The term is often employed in contexts where uncertainty exists, but where certain factors suggest a particular result is more plausible than others.

In everyday language, "tõenäosete" can be used to express a strong belief or expectation about something. For example, one might say "On tõenäosete, et homme sajab" meaning "It is probable that it will rain tomorrow," if the weather forecast indicates a high chance of precipitation.

In more formal settings, particularly in statistics and mathematics, the concept of probability is rigorously defined. While "tõenäosete" is a general term, it aligns with the idea of events having a probability greater than 0.5 but not necessarily equal to 1. It reflects a degree of confidence in an outcome based on available evidence or prior knowledge. The opposite of "tõenäosete" would be "ebatõenäosete," meaning "improbable" or "unlikely." The nuance of the word lies in its suggestion of likelihood without absolute certainty.
