We evaluate the probabilities of various events under the uniform distribution on the set of 312-avoiding permutations of 1,...,N. We derive exact formulas for the probability that the ith element of a random permutation is a specific value less than i, and for joint probabilities of two such events. In addition, we obtain asymptotic approximations to these probabilities for large N when the elements are not close to the boundaries or to each other. We also evaluate the probability that the graph of a random 312-avoiding permutation has k specified decreasing points, and we show that for large N the points below the diagonal look like trajectories of a random walk.
