problem

Let nn be given, n≥4n \geq 4, and suppose that P1,P2,…,PnP_1, P_2, \dots, P_n are nn randomly, independently and uniformly, chosen points on a circle. Consider the convex nn-gon whose vertices are the PiP_i. What is the probability that at least one of the vertex angles of this polygon is acute?

Let $n$ be given, $n \geq 4$, and suppose that $P_1, P_2, \dots, P_n$ are $n$ randomly, independently and uniformly, chosen points on a circle. Consider the convex $n$-gon whose vertices are the $P_i$. What is the probability that at least one of the vertex angles of this polygon is acute?
