Abstract
We attempt to quantify the exact proportion of monic -adic polynomials of degree which are irreducible. We find an exact answer to this when is prime and , and also when and . Our answers are rational functions in . This relates to previous work done to find exact proportions of -adic polynomials of degree which have roots.
