A significant chunk of packaged figs that I've seen are black mission figs because they dry well, and are non-pollinated. A lot of the others are smyrna or calimyrna which require pollination.
That question doesn't mean anything. It depends on where you live. The most common types of figs in France are not the same as the most common figs available in Turkey for example.
After all, there are more than 15 varieties of banana but the likelihood of my picking a Cavendish (conditioned on having picked a banana) at my local supermarket is actually a resounding 100%.
EDIT: To responder, the point is that if you have 5 options, it doesn't mean you have 1/5 the chance of each option. Hence the example with the banana.
