    Summary: Suppose \(d+1\) absolute continuous probability measures \(m_0,\dots, m_d\) on \(\mathbb{R}^d\) are given. In this paper, we prove that there exists a point of \(\mathbb{R}^d\) that belongs to the convex hull of \(d+1\) points \(v_0,\dots, v_d\) with probability at least \(\frac{2d}{(d+1)!(d+1)}\), where each point \(v_i\) is sampled independently according to probability measure \(m_i\).
