Thou shalt not say "at random" in vain: Bertrand's paradox exposed


Abstract:


We show by means of a few examples that the well known Bertrand paradoxes do not point to any probabilistic inconsistency, but rather to the risks incurred with a careless use of the locution at random.

Empirical remarks are added.
