Students from 4th course have performed an experiment to calculate Pi using probability, this experiment is a part of our eTwinning project "Experimenting on maths together". They have thrown grains of rice into a circle inscribed in a square and have calculated the quotient between the grains inside the circle and the total number of grains, four timesthis quotient is a good estimation for pi.
The general result was Pi=3,24 and one of the teams obtained pi=3,184. In our opinion is it really a good estimation for pi, considering the material we used and that we are applying probability
