Continuing the example from the previous post, histograms
for three such throws are presented here. In each of these experiments, a VBA
macro was incorporated to determine the distribution and the predicted value of
pi. Sample sizes of 1000, 10000 and 100000 were used as a starting point, and
each sample was randomized 100 times to determine the results.
As the sample size increases, the statistical analysis
approaches closer to a bell-curve distribution, while the mean value of pi gets
closer to the “expected” value.
Incidentally, today is 3/14 - pi day. A special one, at 9:26:54 (or 53?!) am or pm.
