You don’t want to play Nomic, I get it. I’m hurt, but I’ll move on.
Got a question for you. If you’ve seen this before, please refrain from responding.
A contestant on Let’s Make a Deal stands before three doors, of which he must choose one. Behind one is a new car, behind the other two are goats. He chooses a door, at which point Monte opens one of the remaining two doors to show him a goat, and gives him a chance to change his pick. Should he do it? Would it matter?
yes he should, because his chances have just improved from one in three to one in two.
i think i learned that from some movie, so its obviously a well circulated probability question, that also was in your book the drunkard’s walk i imagine…
thanks for calling the other day.
Depends if you’re looking for a car or a goat…
That’s a fact
