Abstract
We study the asymptotic behavior of four statistics associated with subtrees of complete graphs: the uniform probability that a random subtree is a spanning tree of , the weighted probability (where the probability a subtree is chosen is proportional to the number of edges in the subtree) that a random subtree spans and the two expectations associated with these two probabilities. We find and both approach , while both expectations approach the size of a spanning tree, i.e., a random subtree of has approximately edges.
