an exponentially small upper bound on the probability that a sum of independent random variables strays far from its mean.

In probability theory, Chernoff bound refers to an exponentially small upper bound on the probability that a sum of independent random variables strays far from its mean. This meaning comes from Chernoff (1952) in The Annals of Mathematical Statistics.[1]
