The phrase "a small probability that" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the likelihood of an event occurring, particularly in statistical or scientific contexts.
Example: "There is a small probability that the experiment will yield unexpected results."
Alternatives: "a slight chance that" or "a low likelihood that".
They found the Stone Age Briton had dark hair - with a small probability that it was curlier than average - blue eyes and skin that was probably dark brown or black in tone.
But it also says there is a small probability that the true number is much higher.
There was only a small probability that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 would lead to general war in Europe.
The idea is to think about what would happen if one of the players believes that there's a small probability that a mistake will occur and someone's hand will "tremble" and play a different strategy.
Lontzek and his co-authors' calculations suggest that if there's even a small probability that the rising levels of carbon in the atmosphere lead to irreversible, damaging shifts, we should be willing to pay a lot now to lower that risk.
When strong emotions are triggered by a risk, people show a remarkable tendency to neglect a small probability that the risk will actually come to fruition.
When missing distances are set as missing in a random manner, there is a smaller probability that any one node would suffer a much higher loss of measurements, hence the higher missing pairwise tolerances in both the approaches.
On one hand, the protocol designer wants to choose a longer review phase period L because it improves the monitoring accuracy, and hence, there is a smaller probability that the system goes into a punishment phase due to monitoring errors.
If no homolog is present, there is a smaller probability that a drug targeting this specific protein have an effect in humans.
The application of the first bias in the backward direction implies that there is a smaller probability that the photon packets will be forward scattered beyond the early part of the target depth range.
Since most tissue generally are highly forward scattering, the value of their anisotropy factor is close to 1. Thus there is a very small probability that a simulated photon packet at a given depth undergoes backscattering towards the tip of the collecting fiber.
