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 [math]\pi[/math], mounted on a square board with side length 2 units.[br][br]Each dart thrown can land on the target or not, but it always lands on the board.[br][br]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 [math]\pi[/math].[br][br]You can obtain a new throw with the same number of darts by using the button at the bottom right of the app.
