We find the order of growth of the typical number of components of zero sets of smooth random functions of several real variables. This might be thought as a statistical version of the (first half of) 16th Hilbert problem. The primary examples are various ensembles of Gaussian real-valued polynomials (algebraic or trigonometric) of large degree, and smooth Gaussian functions on the Euclidean space with translation-invariant distribution.
