On a game show......

[neukicks]

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of threedoors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick adoor, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opensanother door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do youwant to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Weird question to ask, but I'll just go with door #1. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It is to your advantage to switch.

By switching you have a 2/3 chance to win, otherwise by staying just a 1/3 chance.

That makes no sense. Can u explain that please? Because now u just have 1/2 chance being right and 1/2 chance being wrong. So there's no advantage to switch

It's a little hard to concieve but it's a statistics problem that has been found to be true that switching is ALWAYS to your advantage. I didn't understand it at first but last semester in my stats class the whole class did the test 100 times staying and 100 times switching and the winning percentage was much higher when switching.
