Abstract: Let $mathcalP=p_1,p_2,\mathrm{...}$ be the set of all odd primes arranged in increasing order. A Goldbach partition of the even integer $2k>4$ is a way of writing it as a sum of two primes from $mathcalP$ without regard to order. Let $Q(2k)$ be the number of all Goldbach partitions of the number $2k$. Assume that $2k$ is selected uniformly at random from the interval $(4,2n],n>2$, and let $Y_n=Q(2k)$ with probability $1/(n-2)$. We prove that the random variable $frac{Y}_{n}n/left(frac12lognight{)}^2$ converges weakly, as $noinfty$, to a uniformly distributed random variable in the interval $(0,1)$. The method of proof uses size-biasing and the Laplace transform continuity theorem.
