Statistics 101

hi riverrat,the one that will really freak you out is the monty hall problem.You have three closed doors in front of you. Behind one of them is a car, and behind each of the other two there is a goat. You pick a door. One of the OTHER doors is opened, revealing a goat. If you want to win the car, should you stick with the door you initially chose, or should you switch to the other door which has not yet been opened?in edit - obviously if you google you can find the explanation, so fair play everyone! [This is a fascinating problem that has come up before here at EvC Forum. I'd like to extend Mick's request for fair play to everyone who already knows the answer. If you already know the answer to this, please hold back so that people who are seeing it for the first time can mull it over and discuss it for a while. --Admin]MickEdited by mick, : No reason given.Edited by mick, : No reason given.Edited by mick, : No reason given.Edited by Admin, : Add administrative request.
