Etymology

Adjective

stochastic (comparative more stochastic, superlative most stochastic)

Random, randomly determined.

Usage notes

The term refers to the process of determination being random, regardless of any particular outcome. Flipping a fair coin that lands heads 100 times in a row (in practice, impossibly unlikely, or proof that the coin is not a fair one) could still be contemplated as the outcome of a stochastic procedure.
