One of the best-known Monte Carlo problems is the Buffon needle. If a needle is dropped on a floor painted with black and white stripes, each the same width as the length of the needle, then the probability is
with the stripes. Express the probability as a simple integral. (b) Design a Monte Carlo Type 2 simulation that approximates the probability, and carry it out with
