I was thinking about the fact that $\frac{1}{\zeta(n)}$ is the probability that $n$ randomly chosen integers are coprime, and wondered if there were “natural” ways in which $e^{-n}$ (for $n>0$) and $\frac{1}{\Gamma(n)} $(provided that $0 < \frac{1}{\Gamma(n)} < 1$) might be interpreted as probabilities with respect to a property of some structure on $n$ objects?
number-theoretic? probabilities associated with $e^{-n}$ and $1/\Gamma(n)$

2If $n$ is a positive non-zero integer, $\Gamma(n)=(n-1)!$. I guess you can think of some probabilistic interpretation for that. – 2011-03-01
