   Abstract:
   In finite groups that are not abelian, at most 3/4 of pairs of elements will commute. A natural question is whether this gap extends to measures of "Hamiltonianess". In fact, this paper shows that for any rational number r between 0 and 1, there exist groups where the probability that a subgroup chosen uniformly at random from the set of subgroups is normal is exactly r. The proof technique was suggested through computer experimentation.
