Abstract

The exterior degree of a pair of finite groups (G, N), which is a generalization of the exterior degree of finite groups, is the probability for two elements (g, n) in (G, N) such that gn = 1. In the present paper, we state some relations between this concept and the relative commutatively degree, capability and the Schur multiplier of a pair of groups.
