Abstract A random polytope is the convex hull of n random points in the interior of a convex body K . The expectation of the i th intrinsic volume of a random polytope as n → ∞ is investigated. It is proved that, for convex bodies of differentiability class K k +1 , precise asymptotic expansions for these expectations exist. The proof makes essential use of a refinement of Crofton's boundary theorem.
