suppose there are say 50 observers,each observing the same particle for measuring it's properties or information,all of them choose different probability of their existence/spin out of the available states

what will be there final conclusion?

That question is ill-defined in terms of quantum mechanics. In QM observation=measurement, and you can only make one measurement at a time. The answer to your question is dependent on the specific measurements that are being carried out, and on the order in which they are carried out.
 


@spectracat-i don't disagree that part of observation =measurement but what if all the measurement or the act of measurement is just an event that occur simultaneously
 
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
