Erro comum:
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.
Significado
probability that something will occur
Colocações

Sinónimos
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".)
Antónimos
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.)

Erro comum:
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.
Significado

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