It's actually (b-a)/nticks/2^n, more or less.  But you probably knew that.

Do you really mean "random" points?  I wouldn't be very happy if every 
time I plotted a function it looked slightly different because different 
random points were selected.  The default value of nticks could be a bit 
too  small, and we could make it larger.  It used to be 100 or so.
