Bertrand's paradox -- distribution of midpoints of chords chosen at random, solution 3

This image is an original work by Robert Dodier (User:Wile E. Heresiarch).

Here are the commands (of the R programming language) by which this image was created.

n <- 10000

n <- floor (4/pi*n)

x <- runif (n) * 2 - 1
y <- runif (n) * 2 - 1

z <- sqrt (x^2 + y^2)

i <- z < 1

sum (i)

x <- x[i]
y <- y[i]

plot (x, y, pch='.', col='red')
