Using Experimental Probability to Estimate π - Monte Carlo Method
The app below simulates throwing a certain number of darts at a circular target of area , mounted on a square board with side length 2 units.
Each dart thrown can land on the target or not, but it always lands on the board.
Use the slider to choose the number of darts thrown, compare the probabilities of hitting the target, and observe the corresponding estimate of the value of .
You can obtain a new throw with the same number of darts by using the button at the bottom right of the app.
