How to Use This Demo
Follow these steps to experience the simulation:
- Set the needle length l and grid spacings a, b. For the classical formula to apply, ensure l ≤ min(a, b).
- Set N, the number of needles to drop in one batch.
- Click Drop One Needle to observe a single trial and its result.
- Click Run N times to run a batch and compare the empirical probability with the theoretical probability.
- Try increasing N to see the empirical result become more stable.
- Click Reset or change any parameter to start fresh.
