This same asymptotic expansion is valid for the probability that a random pair of elements from the symmetric group Sn generates either An or Sn. Similar results hold for the case of r generators r 2 . 1 Introduction In 5 I proved that the probability that a random pair of elements from the symmetric group Sn will generate either Sn or An is at least 1 2 loglogn 2 for large enough n. This estimate was improved by Bovey and Williamson 3 to 1 exp ylog n . Finally Babai 1 showed that the probability has the asymptotic form 1 1 n O 1 n2 . Unlike the earlier estimates the proof of Babai s result uses the classification of finite simple groups. Babai s result depends on two elementary results from 5 namely the probability tn that a pair of elements in Sn generates a transitive group is 1 1 n O 1 n2 and the probability that a pair of elements generates a transitive imprimitive group of Sn is n2-n 4. Using the classification he shows that the probability that a pair of elements generates a primitive subgroup of Sn different from An or Sn is n n for all sufficiently large n. Thus the probability that a pair of elements of Sn generates a transitive group but does not generate either Sn or An is O n2-n 4 n n O n-k for all k.

By what we have just said the same asymptotic series is .
