The game host then opens door 3 to reveal a goat and offers to let the player pick door 2 instead of door 1. The Monty Hall problem is a puzzle involving probability loosely based on the American game show Let's Make a Deal . The name comes from the show's host, Monty Hall . The problem is also called the Monty Hall paradox ; it is a veridical paradox in the sense that the solution is counterintuitive. A widely known statement of the problem appeared in a letter to Marilyn vos Savant 's Ask Marilyn column in Parade (vos Savant 1990): Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? Because there is no way for the player to know which of the two unopened doors is the winning door, many people assume that each door has an equal probability and conclude that switching does not matter. In fact, in the usual interpretation of the problem the player

   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search The Monty Hall problem is a puzzle . It has to do with chance . The puzzle is based on America's game show Let's Make a Deal . The name comes from the show host, Monty Hall In the puzzle, there are 3 doors . Behind 2 doors there are goats . And behind the last door there is a car. The host asks a player to choose a door. After the player chooses a door, the host opens a door with a goat behind it. Then, the host asks the player if he would like to change his selection. In the puzzle, it is proved that if the player changes his choice, the chance of him getting a car is 2/3. And if the player does not change his choice, then the chance of him getting a car is 1/3. Player picks Goat B Changing wins. The player has an equal chance of initially selecting the car, Goat A, or Goat B. Switching results in a win 2/3 of the time. There are 2 different options: 1. If the player picks a goat, then the host will show the other goat. Then if the player changes his choice, he will get a car. 2. If the player picks the other goat, then the host will show the first goat. Then if the player changes his choice, he will get a car. 3. If the player picks the car, then the host will show a goat. Then if the player changes his choice, he will get a goat

   Extractions: A puzzle in probability that was inspired by the American game show "Let's Make a Deal," hosted by Monty Hall. In its original form it goes like this: at the end of the show, you, the player, are shown three doors. Behind one of them is a new car, behind the other two are goats. Monty knows where the car is, but you don't. You choose a door. Before that door is opened however, Monty opens one of the two other doors with a goat behind it. He then gives you the option of switching to the other closed door. Should you switch or stick? At first glance, it seems as if it shouldn't make any difference. But the answer is surprising. In another variation of the problem, consider that in the actual game show there were two contestants. Both of them were allowed to pick a door but not the same one. Monty then eliminated a player with a goat behind their door (if both players had a goat, one was eliminated randomly, without letting the players know about it), opened the door and then offered the remaining player a chance to switch. Should the remaining player switch? The answer is no. The reason: a switcher in this game will lose if and only if either of two initial choices of the two contestants was correct. How likely is that? Two-thirds. A sticker will win in those 2/3 of the cases. So stickers will win twice as often as switchers.

    Extractions: Office Supplies Buy Posters A-Z Products Website Advertising ... The Monty Hall problem is a riddle in elementary probability that arose from the American game show "Let's make a deal" with host Monty Hall[?] . The problem's main claim to fame is that after its solution was discussed in Marylin vos Savant's "Ask Marylin" question-and-answer column of Parade magazine in 1990, many readers including several math professors wrote in to declare that her solution was wrong. The problem is as follows: At the end of the show, a player is shown three doors. Behind one of them, there's a prize for him to keep, while the other two contain goats (signifying no prize to be won). Although the show host knows what is behind each door, of course the player does not. After the player makes a first choice, Monty opens one of the two other doors, revealing a goat. He then offers the player the option to either stick with the initial choice or switch to the other closed door. Should the player switch? The classical answer to this problem is yes , because the chances of winning the prize are twice as high when the player switches to another door than they are when the player sticks with their original choice. This is because upon the original choice, the player has only a 1/3 chance of choosing the door with the prize; this probability does not change when Monty opens a door with a goat. Hence the chances of winning the prize are 1/3 if the player sticks to their original choice, and thus 2/3 if the player switches.

If you stick with this decision you will always have an overall 33% chance of winning as the host reveals the doors one at a time. Since the host always reveals a booby prize as the first door they open, you now know that you should never pick this door, so you still have 33% chance of being correct (as you picked 1 out of the 3 doors) and the one remaining door must have 66% chance of being the right one.

The question went like this.. "Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors. Behind one door is a car, behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat. He says to you, "Do you want to pick door #2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice of doors?" The answer is quiet intriguing cos when you pick a door in the first place, you think it has the car behind it. When the host opens the second door(knowing whats behind all the doors) which has a goat, you knock it out of your probability of winning and think you only have two doors to choose from. But the fact of the matter is when the host had to open one of the two doors that are left, he knew exactly which one to open so the goat shows up. So the other which he did not open holds the highest probablitiy of having the car behind.
