3. Rendering probable; supporting, or giving ground for, belief, but not demonstrating; as, probable evidence; probable presumption. Blackstone. [ 1913 Webster ]

Probable cause (Law), a reasonable ground of presumption that a charge is, or my be, well founded. --
Probable error (of an observation, or of the mean of a number), that within which, taken positively and negatively, there is an even chance that the real error shall lie. Thus, if 3″ is the probable error in a given case, the chances that the real error is greater than 3″ are equal to the chances that it is less. The probable error is computed from the observations made, and is used to express their degree of accuracy. --
The probable, that which is within the bounds of probability; that which is not unnatural or preternatural; -- opposed to the marvelous. [ 1913 Webster ]
