| The Monty Hall problem |   |
| You have to find the
hidden prize. First choose a box. One of the others (an empty one!) will then
be opened. You can then choose to either keep your original box or trade it for
the other. Finally, your chosen box will be opened to see if you have won the
prize. What is the best tactic? Always stick with your original choice? Always trade? Or does it make any difference? What are the probabilities of winning? |
