Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / Chemistry | | Dutch term or phrase: Toevalsonzekerheid | Now translated as "random variation", but I cannot find confirmation of this in any of my smart dictionaries.
The direct translation as "chance insecurity" sounds silly in a chemical context.
But as anyone have any other suggestions, if possible including the confirming source.

| Grading comment Thanks, that seems better. Random variation is a statistical technique, which only has a removed relationship to uncertainty.
