Bertrand's paradox -- distribution of midpoints of chords chosen at random, solution 2

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

r <- runif (n)

theta <- runif (n) * 2 * pi

x <- r * cos (theta)
y <- r * sin (theta)

z <- sqrt(x^2+y^2)
sum(z<1/2)
plot (x, y, pch='.', col='red')
