Quote from the articles:

"Disregarding of your position or the initiative, there are two
questions that always help one in making the right decision between
choosing to bet or to check. They are as follows:

• Are there enough weaker hands in the opponent's range that could call in the bet?

• Are there enough stronger hands in the opponent's range that could fold to the bet?

How much 'enough' is, depends on the pot size and your own position and will be illustrated later."
