# What is the expected probability of people meeting with each other?

I have a question as below: Let there be 3 groups of people, Group A (60%), B(25%), and C(15%) of the whole population. What is the expected probability that a person from Group A will randomly meet a person from Group A, Group B, and Group C, respectively?

I came up with this question in a social study I am doing recently. I'm not a mathematician, so what I thought is quite simple but I am not sure if it is correct. Please provide your opinion, and do feel free to make assumptions or conditions for solving the question if it is neccessary.

If you mean the next person she meets, the probabilities are $60\%$, $25\%$. $15\%$, with slight correction if the population is very small, like $12,5,3$ since someone cannot meet herself. If there are several interactions, the question should be altered, like "Among the next $4$ people she meets, what is the probability at least one is a C? – André Nicolas Feb 18 '13 at 12:40
Thanks very much for your responses. The answers look quite straightforward. I totally agree with the first person how the "meeting" process takes place should be specified. Hence, when it comes to the probability of 2 Groups meeting with each other (undirected), the second answer is appropriate. – user63104 Feb 20 '13 at 9:29
