Abstract
We compute the uniform probability that finitely many polynomials over a finite field are pairwise coprime and compare the result with the formula one gets using the natural density as probability measure. It will turn out that the formulas for the two considered probability measures asymptotically coincide but differ in the exact values. Moreover, we calculate the natural density of mutually left coprime polynomial matrices and compare the result with the formula one gets using the uniform probability distribution. The achieved estimations are not as precise as in the scalar case but again we can show asymptotic coincidence.
