We consider the equation \[x^{\prime \prime }+a^2(t)x=0,\qquad a(t):=a_k\ \hbox{ if }t_{k-1}\le t
We consider the equation \[x^{\prime \prime }+a^2(t)x=0,\qquad a(t):=a_k\ \hbox{ if }t_{k-1}\le t,\ \hbox{ for }k=1,2,\ldots ,\] where $\lbrace a_k\rbrace $ is a given increasing sequence of positive numbers, and $\lbrace t_k\rbrace $ is chosen at random so that $\lbrace t_k-t_{k-1}\rbrace $ are totally independent random variables uniformly distributed on interval $[0,1]$. We determine the probability of the event that all solutions of the equation tend to zero as $t\rightarrow \infty $.
