This informative article based on some lectures of the author describes many results, conjectures and ideas regarding probabilistic aspects of finite group theory. Some of the topics discussed here include random generation of finite simple groups and applications to free groups, the modular group and symmetric groups. Random generation and Hausdorff dimension of profinite groups are discussed. Finally, some consequences of these results related to permutation groups are mentioned. In particular, minimal degree, base size and covers of Riemann surfaces are some of the applications that are discussed. A very useful bibliography is included. There are too many interesting results to mention in a review and the reader is referred to the article for details. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0908.00018].
