Buffon's Needle Problem - Simple version

This project simulates Buffon's Needle problem, a probability experiment that studies the chances of a randomly dropped needle crossing parallel lines. The probability of intersection depends on the needle’s length and the angle at which it falls.

1. The needle crosses the line - example

2. The needle doesn't cross the line - example

Buffon's Needle Problem - Cross version

Instead of a single needle, a cross (two needles) is dropped. The cross has a higher probability of intersecting a line.

These programs...

  • Simulates multiple needle/cross drops
  • Generates a visual plot of the results
  • Computes the probability of intersection based on the simulation

About

This repository contains an R simulation of Buffon's Needle problem, a classic probability experiment. The simulation visualizes the needle drops and estimates the probability of intersection with parallel lines.
