The commutativity degree of all nonabelian metabelian groups of order at most 24

A metabelian group is a group whose commutator subgroup is abelian. Equivalently, a group G is metabelian if and only if there exists an abelian normal subgroup A such that the quotient group G/A is abelian. Meanwhile, the commutativity degree can be viewed as the probability that two elements in a...
