      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 3sec is the probable error in a
      given case, the chances that the real error is greater
      than 3sec 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
