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

shall lie. Thus, if 3[sec] is the probable error in a
given case, the chances that the real error is greater
than 3[sec] 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. Probable error 3. Rendering probable; supporting, or giving ground for,
