A probability of 16% is about 1 in 6. As with so many things expressed with probability we tend to be subjective in deciding whether this is likely or not. One factor might be loss. If I have a 1 in 6 chance of being two minutes late for a routine weekly meeting to take time for a much needed coffee I might take the risk. If I have a 1 in 6 chance of being flattened by a snowplow hurrying to cross a road when I have nothing better to do then I might be happy to wait.
