The website Genealogyintime.com recently published an article that explores the probability that people with the same surnames are related.
Researchers in England found that there is about a 1 in 4 chance that males sharing a common surname would actually share a common ancestor.
The article makes for interesting reading and a link is provided to further research if you are interested. You can find the article at http://tinyurl.com/2d3s9f3
