Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often say *"the likelihood to do something"* instead of the more natural *"the likelihood of doing something"* or *"the likelihood that something will happen"*. They may also confuse "likelihood" with "possibility"; "likelihood" suggests thinking about how probable something is, not just whether it can happen at all.

probability (More formal and slightly more common in statistics and technical contexts, but often interchangeable.)
|
chance (More informal and general; sounds less technical than "likelihood".)
Αντώνυμα
improbability (Direct opposite, focusing on the fact that something is not likely to happen.)
|
impossibility (Stronger opposite, meaning there is no chance at all that something will happen.)

Παραδείγματα για μαθητές

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often think this technical sense is exactly the same as everyday "probability". In statistics, likelihood is a function of model parameters given fixed data, while probability is usually a function of data given fixed parameters.

Συνώνυμα
likelihood function (More explicit technical term; refers specifically to the function, not just the general idea of probability.)
Αντώνυμα
loss function (Not a direct semantic opposite, but often conceptually contrasted in modeling, where one is maximized and the other minimized.)
