IMC 2024 Problem 5

    Let n>dn>d be positive integers. Choose nn independent, uniformly distributed random points x1,…,xnx_1,\dots,x_n in the unit ball B⊂RdB \subset \mathbb{R}^d centered at the origin. For a point p∈Bp \in B denote by f(p)f(p) the probability that the convex hull of x1,…,xnx_1,\dots,x_n contains pp . Prove that if p,q∈Bp,q \in B and the distance of pp from the origin is smaller than the distance of qq from the origin, then f(p)≥f(q)f(p) \ge f(q) .
