What are the chances of a wasp stinging you when it is hovering a few inches away from you?

It very much depends on you. If you try to get it to go away by swatting at it with your hands, the chances are fairly high. On the other hand, if you move slowly and just walk away, the chances will be vanishingly small. As long as the wasp stays where it is, there is zero chance; the wasp has to land on your skin before it can sting you. The carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath will excite them. Avoiding this contact will reduce the chance of being stung.
