    Summary: This paper provides an asymptotic value for the mathematical expected number of points of inflections of a random polynomial of the form \[ a_0(\omega)+ a_1(\omega){n\choose 1}^{1/2} x+ a_2(\omega){n\choose 2}^{1/2} x^2+\cdots+ a_n(\omega){n\choose n}^{1/2} x^n, \] when \(n\) is large. The coefficients \(\{a_j(\omega)\}^n_{j=0}\), \(\omega\in\Omega\), are assumed to be a sequence of independent normally distributed random variables with mean zero and variance one, each defined on a fixed probability space \((A,\Omega,\text{Pr})\). A special case of dependent coefficients is also studied.
