The Monty Hall Problem

I feel like arguing. So here’s a classic Game Theory problem I heard at Rowan that we can argue about:

You’re on a gameshow and you have to pick between three doors. One door contains a car, the other two doors contain goats. You pick a door and the host opens another door, revealing a goat, and offers you a chance to switch doors.

Do you switch? If so, what is the probability of being correct? If not, what is the probability of being correct?

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
