2. Chance of something happening.

Notes (1) : In risk management terminology, the word “likelihood” is used to refer to the chance of something happening, whether defined, measured or determined objectively or subjectively, qualitatively or quantitatively, and described using general terms or mathematically (such as a probability or a frequency over a given time period).

Notes (2) : The English term “likelihood” does not have a direct equivalent in some languages; instead, the equivalent of the term “probability” is often used. However, in English, “probability” is often narrowly interpreted as a mathematical term. Therefore, in risk management terminology, “likelihood” is used with the intent that it should have the same broad interpretation as the term “probability” has in many languages other than English.

3. Chance of something happening, whether defined, measured or estimated objectively or subjectively, or in term of general descriptors (such as rare, unlikely, likely, almost certain), frequencies or mathematical probabilities.

6. Chance of something happening.

NOTE: This Standard uses the word ‘likelihood’ to refer to the chance of something happening, whether defined, measured or determined objectively or subjectively, and described using general terms or mathematically (such as a probability or a frequency over a given time period).
