Chance is per body: how often the item is in it at all. Amount is the range seen when it is. Server owners can change loot, so modded servers may differ. NPC loot is rolled the way the game rolls an NPC's loot slots (each slot, its count and its chance); it isn't taken from a real body, so check it against what you see in game.
