We consider the analogue of the $\wedge (p)$―problem for subsets of the Legendre polynomials or more general ultraspherical polynomials. We obtain the “best possible” result that if $2\,<\,p\,<\,4$ then a random subset of $N$ Legendre polynomials of size ${{N}^{4/p-1}}$ spans an Hilbertian subspace. We also answer a question of König concerning the structure of the space of polynomials of degree $n$ in various weighted ${{L}_{p}}$-spaces.
