Abstract

Let G be a finite group. Define E(G) to be the expected number of elements of G which have to be drawn at random with replacement from G before a set of generators is found. The purpose of this paper is to compute E(G) for certain nilpotent groups. This paper is divided into six sections. The first section is an introduction. In the second section we present the definition λn (G) the probability that n elements drawn at random, with replacement from a finite group G generate G, and the definition E(G) the expectation of the group G, that is the expected number of elements of G which have to be drawn at random, with replacement, before a set of generators is found. In the third section we present some preliminaries and earlier results e.g if G is a group and Φ(G) is its Frattini subgroup. Then, λn (G)=λn (G/Φ(G)). In section four, we computed E(G) for certain nilpotent groups such as and  In section five, we computed E(G) for a non-trivial example. The last section is a conclusion.
