Compute π (Monte Carlo with Central Limit Theorem)

Project: Compute π (Monte Carlo with Central Limit Theorem)

Write a program that computes and prints π using the Monte Carlo method. See ComputePi2. Compute π 20 times using the Monte Carlo method and take the average to get a better approximation. Use a function to encapsulate the Monte Carlo simulation.

The idea that the average of multiple trials yields a better approximation is called the [[Central Limit Theorem]]. Is this approach any better than just computing one estimate with a larger number of samples?
