We find that as $n$ goes to infinity, the distribution of the number of regions, properly shifted and scaled, converges to the standard normal distribution and the error can be bounded by Stein's method for proving Central Limit Theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-09-17T19:55:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random chords", "proving central limit theorem", "standard normal distribution", "steins method", "unit circle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
