Let H and K be subgroups of a finite group G. Pick g∈ G uniformly at random. We study the distribution induced on double cosets. Three examples are treated in detail: 1) H= K= the Borel subgroup in G L n (F q). This leads to new theorems for Mallows measure on permutations and new insights into the LU matrix factorization. 2) The double cosets of the hyperoctahedral group inside S 2 n, which leads to new applications of the Ewens's sampling formula of mathematical genetics. 3) Finally, if H and K are parabolic subgroups of S n, the double cosets are ‘contingency tables’, studied by statisticians for the past 100 years.
