The way it was stated leaves room for other motives by the game show host: for example, is the host only opening the third door and allowing you to switch because you already chose the car and he doesn't want you to get it? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Problem_and_solution">This part of the wikipedia page</a> gives a much better explanation of what I'm trying to say.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727546651747337497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899596.post-42398540249317699972007-01-01T06:03:00.000-05:002007-01-01T06:03:00.000-05:00ahhhh... just figured it out. you have to go thro...ahhhh... just figured it out. you have to go through the different scenarios to understand it:<br /><br />basically, you have 3 options with your first choice - 1) car, 2) goat A or 3) goat B. then just carry it on from there and you can't miss it. always better to switch. <br /><br />if you always switch when given the option (after being shown a goat), the only way you can lose is if you have already picked the car on your first choice (1/3 chance). if you picked a goat on your first choice (2/3 chance), then by default when you switch you will be switching to the car (because they always show a goat).<br /><br />too bad there's no way to know whether your initial pick was a car or goat before making the switch... ;)<br /><br />i'm really glad i know people who post on substantial, educational topics. (much unlike my latest post on luffas.) you guys are making me look either a little smarter, or a lot dumber.smoothePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018171847173976336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899596.post-11511362393224589052006-12-31T23:07:00.000-05:002006-12-31T23:07:00.000-05:00Nice way to make us scour through links for the me...Nice way to make us scour through links for the meat of your post.
