John--

This is not a probability problem; this is a communication problem. I mean, are you really interested in the percentage of mistakes made, or do you want to know which specific instances are ambiguous?? If you TRULY want a probability, it's just the number of errors divided by the number of trials. The answer will be a fraction. Multiply it by 100 to get the percentage.

Or get her a cat for Christmas?
