Answer 13

No numbers but I see the sums and that is what counts.

Answer 14

this is the question i need help on:

6. Research the Monty Hall Problem. Write a paragraph explaining why the simulation produces this result.

Answer 15

I think I would google that up and write a summary.

Answer 16

could you help me find a website that I could use?

Answer 17

Answer 18

thanks!!!

Answer 19

You can read those and get an idea of the scope of the problem.

Answer 20

On the last question, you will need to give a summary of the problem and include the best action for a contestant to take. Write the paragraph as if writing to somebody who has never heard of the Monty Hall problem.

Answer 21

so would this answer work, but in my own words for last question?

The problem can be generalized to four doors as follows. Let one door conceal the car, with goats behind the other three. Pick a door d_1. Then the host will open one of the nonwinners and give you the option of switching. Call your new choice (which could be the same as d_1 if you don't switch) d_2. The host will then open a second nonwinner, and you must decide for choice d_3 if you want to stick to d_2 or switch to the remaining door. The probabilities of winning are shown below for the four possible strategies.

Answer 22

No. That is for the extension of the problem to four doors. You want to stick with the 3 in the original problem.

Answer 23

so this answer seem better than The correct answer is that you do want to switch. If you do not switch, you have the expected 1/3 chance of winning the car, since no matter whether you initially picked the correct door, Monty will show you a door with a goat. But after Monty has eliminated one of the doors for you, you obviously do not improve your chances of winning to better than 1/3 by sticking with your original choice. If you now switch doors, however, there is a 2/3 chance you will win the car (counterintuitive though it seems).

Answer 24

^^^ Yes, but you must paraphrase. I thought you had to give an entire history of the Monty Hall problem. I read it that wrong. It is just that probability part, I think. So, that is good.

Answer 25

yep:)

Answer 26

yep, i said this for number 5

4. No, why? Because, the stimulation results show that the probability of winning a car is greater than that of winning a goat.

Answer 27

i mean number 4 lol
