It's easy - you put the part of the hat which has the opening in it on your head - it will fall off if you don't. -- Math illiteracy affects 8 out of every 5 people. |

"Wizard of Woodstock" wrote in message ... Math illiteracy affects 8 out of every 5 people. Speaking of math illiteracy. My son, also bored with winter, hit me with this classic "Monty Hall" challenge last night. Goes something like: ================================================= A contestant is on "Let's Make a Deal". She is told that behind one of three curtains there is a new car. Behind the other two curtains are dirty old goats. She picks a curtain. Before it is opened, one of the other curtains is opened to reveal some dirty old goats. She is then given the opportunity to change her mind about which remaining curtain she thinks the car is behind. What should she do? ================================================ Surprisingly, I chose what is considered to be the correct answer. I'll let those that have never heard of this think about it and decide for themselves. Eisboch |

Of the three choices, two probabilities exist that she wins the car by switching her choice. She switches her choice to increase the probability of winning the car. -- Chaos! Panic! Disaster!

Of the three choices, two probabilities exist that she wins the car by switching her choice. She switches her choice to increase the probability of winning the car. Doesn't make sense. She made her choice when the odds were 2:1 against her. Since one curtain was eliminated, the odds are now 1:1. Changing her choice won't change the odds. The odds changed when the first curtain was opened. Flip a coin 10 times and it comes up heads each time. What are the odds of heads on the 11th flip? Same as they were on the first flip. 1:1. Or even money for you real gamblers. Of which Galactic guys don't qualify. Unless you're wagering quateros on warpsnerk lightbeam racing. --Vic |
