Dutch term

Toevalsonzekerheid

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Chemistry
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.

TIA
