Concise Answer: The probability is 1/4.
Detailed Explanation: If the legs are placed randomly, the table will stand if the center of gravity (the center of the disk) falls within the triangle formed by the legs. This will only happen if all three points lie within the same semicircle, which has a probability of 1/4.
