%N Decimal expansion of the probability that a sphere that is passing through 4 points uniformly and independently chosen at random in a 3D ball is completely lying inside the ball.

%C The corresponding 2D probability, that a circle that is passing through 3 points uniformly and independently chosen at random in a 2D disk is completely lying inside the disk, is 2/5.

%C For the general solution in any number of dimensions see the solution of the user "joriki" in the Mathematics Stackexchange link.
