Abstract: Given an irreducible variety $X$ over a finite field, the density of hypersurfaces of varying degree $d$ intersecting $X$ in an irreducible subvariety is $1$, by a result of Charles and Poonen. In this note, we analyse the situation fixing $d=1$ and extend the base field instead of the degree $d$. We compute the probability that a random linear subspace of the right dimension intersects $X$ in a given number of points.
