The number of intersections of random chords to a circle — third and fourth moments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
In this paper the distributions of the number of intersections of three, four and five random chords to a circle are obtained by a reduction technique employing Ptolemy's theorem. These results are then used to obtain the skewness and kurtosis of the number of intersections of n random chords to a circle.
