\nChance is a term used to qualify those unpredictable events. That is, events that cannot be anticipated using logic or any type of analysis.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chance, therefore, refers to all those events whose causes do not follow defined guidelines, and in some cases, the causes cannot be demonstrated. Thus, it may be a phenomenon never seen before, or too complex, for which it has not been possible to give an explanation for its origin.<\/p>\n

Chance can appear in everyday events, such as winning the lottery, or in events of greater impact, such as the appearance of a new disease whose origin is unknown.<\/p>\n

In other words, chance refers to something fortuitous, unexpected, and may be its positive or negative consequence.<\/p>\n

We must not leave aside the concept of games of chance, which are those where the result does not depend (only) on skill, but on luck. That is, the cards that a player has received or the result that has been achieved when rolling the dice.<\/p>\n

Random according to field of study<\/h2>\n

Chance can have different connotations, depending on the field of study we are talking about.<\/p>\n

Let's see the different cases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Math:<\/strong> When a shorter algorithm than that of the series itself cannot be achieved in a numerical series. The branch of studies that addresses this topic is probability theory.<\/li>\n
  • Biology:<\/strong> A mutation, for example, is the product of chance, because you cannot predict when it will happen.<\/li>\n
  • Philosophy: <\/strong>There is the concept of ontological chance, which is one that is spontaneous and random and towards which it cannot be approached with knowledge because it is part of being. On the other hand, epistemological chance does exist, but it cannot be anticipated due to ignorance or the impossibility of dealing with a complex system.<\/li>\n
  • Economy<\/strong>: In economics, chance can be related to randomness. In this sense, unpredictable events that can affect economic variables. For example, some event or change in politics or in the social sphere. Likewise, in the insurance sector, chance is the probability that a person, or entity, acts in a more risky way after having acquired a policy in the face of an eventuality. For example, if when you take out vehicle insurance, you are less careful when driving. Here we are referring to moral hazard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Other definitions<\/h2>\n

    Some other meanings of chance are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • In card or dice games, that card or dice that determines the point at which the player loses.<\/li>\n
    • In the ball game, any nuisance is called chance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
