Ok but no need of youse, the question is clear without it, if you
accept frequency interpretation of probability as you should also for
MWI, it's clear and meaningful.
But does it have a clear answer?
The MWI has it's own problems with probability. It's straightforward if
there are just two possibility and so the world splits into two (and we
implicitly assume they are equi-probable). But what if there are two
possibilities and one is twice as likely as the other? Does the world
split into three, two of which are the same? If two worlds are the
same, can they really be two. Aren't they just one? And what if there
are two possibilities, but one of them is very unlikely, say
one-in-a-thousand chance. Does the world then split into 1001 worlds?
And what if the probability of one event is 1/pi...so then we need
infinitely many worlds. But if there are infinitely many worlds then
every event happens infinitely many times and there is no natural
measure of probability.
