(Not an answer; rather an example.) Here is a random walk with random $\pm 1$ $xy$-steps with equal probability (you didn't specify details), for $n=10^4$ steps, and its convex hull. <br /> ![RandWalk10K][1]<br /> And here is the very same random walk extended to $n=10^5$ steps: <br /> ![RandWalk100K][2] <hr /> **Added** *15Oct15*. There is a new paper relevant to this question: > Zakhar Kabluchko, Vladislav Vysotsky, and Dmitry Zaporozhets. "Convex hulls of random walks, hyperplane arrangements, and Weyl chambers." ([arXiv abstract](http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.04073).) > "We give an explicit formula for the probability that the convex hull of an $n$-step random walk in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with centrally symmetric density of increments does not contain the origin." By "contain" here they mean "strictly contain in the interior of the hull." <hr /> **Update** *1Apr2017*. The same authors have revised their paper, establishing a formula for the expected number of $k$-dimensional faces of the convex hull of a random walk: > Kabluchko, Zakhar, Vladislav Vysotsky, and Dmitry Zaporozhets. "Convex hulls of random walks: Expected number of faces and face probabilities." Feb. 2016. ([arXiv:1612.00249 Abs](https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.00249).)
