I am not a mathematician, but this kind of equation is called implicit function, implicit equation or implicit curve. If you search for that combined with draw or plot, you might find explanations. But it seems to be complicated. Hope this helps. Thomas > Am 22.01.2022 um 17:56 schrieb Roger

Having had no contact with Bertrand Paradox except reading the Wikipedia entries in English and German, my impression is that this is not a case of broken math but a case of an ill-defined problem. Saying that a chord of a circle is chosen at random seems to imply that all possible chords are ch

I think the easiest way is to adjust the linear random function so that it produces higher numbers more frequently than lower numbers. More precisely, the frequency of 10 must be four times that of 5 (because the area quadruples if you double the radius). Or else the outer points have a lower p
