No chance < Fat chance < Slim chance
These phrases essentially mean there is little or no possibility of something working out positively, although they have slightly different nuances. I would say:
0% chance = no chance
3% chance = fat chance
5% chance = slim chance
Native speaker like English: I went for a job interview today but I have fat chance of getting it; there was no chance I could get the job; there was only a slim chance I could get the job.
Simple English: I won’t get the job.
Simple English: Do you think the rookie will make it this year? I don’t think so!
Native speaker like English: Do you think the rookie will make it this year? No chance!
Simple English: It will be difficult for him to pass the test. We should wish him good luck!
Native speaker like English: He has a slim chance of passing the test. We should wish him good luck!
We often talk about “probability” (= how much chance something is likely to happen). It is always good to have a variety of expressions to convey different meanings and nuances.
Good luck and Happy English Learning!
