Question

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?

Answer 1

Monty Hall Paradox, huh? You'd always take the switch. If you don't switch, you have a 33% chance of attaining the car, but if you switch, you have a 67% chance of attaining the car. The reason is because of some weird paradoxical statistical probability stuff. I still have trouble understanding it.
