SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the set C = {(x,y)|x,y are integers, x^2 + |y| <= 2} and its uniform distribution. The user initially calculated the probability of selecting a point from this set as 1/13 instead of the expected 1/11. Upon reviewing their listed points, they identified that (2,0) and (-2,0) do not satisfy the inequality, confirming that their earlier calculation was incorrect. The correct probability is indeed 1/11, based on the valid points derived from the set.
