Let Xd,n be an n-element subset of 0,1d chosen uniformly at random, and denote by Pd,n := conv Xd,n its convex hull. Let Dd,n be the density of the graph of Pd,n (i.e., the number of one-dimensional faces of Pd,n divided by n(n-1)/2). Our main result is that, for any function n(d), the expected value of Dd,n(d) converges (with d tending to infinity) to one if, for some arbitrary e > 0, n(d) <= (√(2)-e)d holds for all large d, while it converges to zero if n(d) >= (√(2)+e)d holds for all large d.
