Day 226th IMC · Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria

Statement

2019 points are chosen at random, independently, and distributed uniformly in the unit disc {(x,y)R2:x2+y21}\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 : x^2 + y^2 \le 1\}. Let CC be the convex hull of the chosen points. Which probability is larger: that CC is a polygon with three vertices, or a polygon with four vertices?
