You can change the number of darts being thrown and then click on Throw Darts to see where the darts ended up.
Try choosing a number of darts and then clicking on "Throw darts" several times to see where the darts end up. What do you notice about the ratio of the number of darts inside the circle to the number of darts outside the circle?
The cumulative ratio is calculated as the total number of darts that have landed inside the circle over the total number of darts. What do you notice about this ratio the more you throw darts?
