Actually, the probability is 100% that the elevator will be going in the
right direction. Proof by induction:

N=1.    Trivially true, since both you and the elevator only have one
    floor to go to.

Assume true for N, prove for N+1:
    If you are on any of the first N floors, then it is true by the
    induction hypothesis. If you are on the N+1st floor, then both you
    and the elevator have only one choice, namely down. Therefore,
    it is true for all N+1 floors.
QED.
