Abstract
Research on commutativity degree has been done by many authors since 1965. The commutativity degree is defined as the probability that two randomly selected elements in a group commute. In this research, an extension of the commutativity degree called the probability that an element of a group fixes a set ?is explored. The group G in our scope is metacyclic 3-group and the set ? consists of a pair of distinct commuting elements in the group G in which their orders satisfy a certain condition. Meanwhile, the group action used in this research is conjugation. The probability that an element of G fixes a set ?, defined as the conjugation degree on a set is computed using the number of conjugacy classes. The result turns out to be 7/8 or 1, depending on the orbit and the order of ?. © 2016 Penerbit UTM Press. All rights reserved
