-
A.
Buffon’s needle problem
chosen
Buffon’s needle problem is a classic probability puzzle that involves dropping a needle on a lined surface to estimate the value of π.
-
B.
Monte Carlo method
The Monte Carlo method is a computational technique that uses random sampling to approximate numerical results, especially for complex integrals, simulations, and probabilistic systems.
-
C.
Eratosthenes spiral
The Eratosthenes spiral is a geometric visualization of prime numbers generated by the sieve of Eratosthenes, arranging integers in a spiral so that primes form distinctive radial patterns.
-
D.
Pólya’s urn model
Pólya’s urn model is a classic probabilistic scheme in which drawing and then reinforcing the color of balls in an urn produces rich-get-richer dynamics and illustrates concepts like contagion, dependence, and random reinforcement.
-
E.
Ulam spiral
The Ulam spiral is a graphical arrangement of the positive integers in a spiral pattern that reveals striking diagonal alignments of prime numbers, suggesting unexpected structure in their distribution.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
