>>51613314
You randomly picked one door out of 3
so it's a 1/3 chance it's the winner regardless of anything
one door gets removed
the probability that yours is the right one is still 1/3
the other door has a 1/2 chance tho, so it's better to switch.
>>
>>51613220

Fuck freedom. I

The entire purpose of it is a botnet though, so you'd patch out the whole thing

>>51613351
If you always switch, you'll only win when you pick a goat and since there are 2 goats you have 2/3 chance of winning

>>51613387
What's the point of a botnet if it doesn't have an attractive feature? If it's just one big malicious program, that say, asks your personal information, with no 'rewards', like a social network, why would an user be interested in it?
>>
>>51613423
Because it's free software
It's the novelty/irony of running a 100% free software botnet

>>
>>51613455
Well, in that case, if I absolutely must, I would again, fork it, and redirect it's out-coming traffic to a personal server, so nobody gets my info when using it.
>>
>>51613512
So you would not only still run it, you'd run a severely gimped version?
>>
>>51613324
You 2x compared to the chances you had before.

It's still 50x50 if you will get the car or not.

I hate dumbing down math to get people interested in it.
>>
>>51613365
No, the other door now has a 2/3 chance not 1/2 you dolt.

Your initial choice is 1/3 chance, the others are the remaining 2/3. If one of them is removed the chance on your door being the prize door hasn't changed but the remaining door must now make up the full 2/3 remaining.
>>
>>51613365
>>51613388

the goat is irrelevant, we only care about the last part where we choose 1 or 2. only 2 doors to choose from, 50% each.
>>
>>51613551
It is not still 50/50, you sure aren't doing a very good job dumbing it down since you obviously don't understand the math behind it.

Your chances upon moving become 2/3 vs 1/3 that you had initially. There is no 50% chance involved in this question, otherwise moving would have no effect on your chance.
>>
>>51613531
Well, ironically, those would be my terms if I'm gonna run botnet that's also free software, keeping my personal information secure. Of course, there are people who consider some of their data 'irrelevant' to them, so they don't mind sharing it. Those people would probably run the botnet, if they agree of what is collecting.

*If they agree to what the software is collecting.

>>51613592
Here's another way to look at it
100 doors, 99 goats, 1 car
You make your choice to start with
The host offers to reveal 98 goats, but ONLY if you blow up whatever's behind the door you picked
Since there's only a 1% chance you picked the car, you accept and blow up whatever was in the door you picked
The host opens 98 other doors to reveal goats for all of them
Now you have 2 doors, the one you picked first and another, unopened door
Did you blow up the car or a goat?
>>
>>51613614
The host will always reveal the other goat.
It is always a choice between 2 doors, not three.
The fact there are 3 doors is just a performance thing.
>>
>>51613627
prove it m'faggot

>>51613653
still 50/50 that the remaining 2 doors have car or goat
>>
>>51613551
>>51613592
No it isn't. Because the initial probability of you choosing the car has not changed. Let's say the car is behind door 2 and lay out the 3 possible outcomes you get if you switch.

1) Choose Door One. Host must open door 3. Switching to Door 2 will win you the car
2) Choose Door Two. Host is free to open either Door. It doesn't matter which one because either way switching means you lose.
3) Choose Door Three. Host must open door 1. Switching to Door Two means you win.
>>
>>51613678
you are making a lot of assumptions about the host's behavior that are not stated in the OP image
>>
>>51613673
No, there's either one car and one blown up goat, or one goat and one blown up car
Which is more likely?
>>
>>51613678
>Host is free to open either Door
he's not, he has to reveal a goat
>>
This problem is proof mathmaticians are autistic and can't understand showbiz
>>
>>51613659
>>51613659
Just a performance thing? I don't think you understand the question.

You can imagine it with as many door as possible, the more you imagine it actually becomes easier to understand because it becomes less intuitive.

Imagine 1000 doors, one containing the prize and all the others a goat. The host will have you choose a door and then will open 998 doors, leaving one other unopened door. It becomes pretty obvious that changing will almost always result in you getting the prize. The chance on your original guess is still 1 in 1000 but now the other unopened door makes up the other 999 in 1000 chances.

With a lower amount of doors this is easier to understand because it is counterintuitive, but I can assure you that changing will result in you getting the prize 2/3s of the time.
>>
>>51613748
Option 2 was if you had selected the door with the car behind it.

>>51613748
If the car was behind door 2 and you chose door 2, both remaining doors have goats behind them.
>>
>>51613826
No, it is absolutely nothing like that. Nothing I said was wrong. The reason this problem can be changed to include more doors to demonstrate that moving will always increase your odds because the sum of the chances of all the options must be equal to 1 or 100%.
>>
>>51613786
I think this would be true if the revealed door was randomly chosen. But the host can't just reveal the car and end the game.

The door he'd open is not in the pool of doors you could have chosen to begin with.
>>
>>51613826
It does changes the probability, but the way the problem works is the same.

If you have n doors and n-1 goats, the probability of winning if you switch will always be n-1 / n
>>
>>51613886
the first choice is still made irrelevant by the second, which is always 50/50
>>
>>51613932
No, the chance on your initial guess cannot change, nothing is done on it to allow it to change. It will remain 1/3.
>>
Can I just make it clear that the reason it's better switch is the host? His absolute knowledge changes it from a probability problem to a logic question.

>>
>>51613882
It definitely is in the pool of doors initially. Look at the original picture. To argue otherwise shows that you haven't read the question very well.

The host knows what is behind all the doors, so he will be able to accurately pick a goat no matter which door you choose.
>>
>>51613963
No.
>>
Stayfags are tards.

Lets say it was behind door 1, goats behind 2 and 3.

If you pick door 1, he shows the goat behind either door 2 or 3. Stay and you win, switch and you lose.

You pick door 2, he shows you door 3. Stay and you lose, switch and you win.

You pick door 3, he shows you door 2. Stay and you lose, switch and you win.

Ergo, 2/3 chance to win if you switch

>>51613988
>The host knows what is behind all the doors, so he will be able to accurately pick a goat no matter which door you choose

where is this stated in OP? it just says he showed me a goat, not that he must always show me a goat

>No, the other door now has a 2/3 chance not 1/2 you dolt.
You're right, not sure why you're being such a dick about it though.
>>
>>51614047
"He opened the door to reveal a goat" can be interpreted to mean that his intention on opening a door would be to reveal the goat, which implies he knows what's behind where. Intuitively, you could also just say he's the host, but the absolute knowledge is present in the original problem anyway.
>>
>>51614047
It doesn't actually matter if the host knows or not. In this instance he picked the goat to show. God still knows which door has which prize, and that doesn't change no matter what happens to the other doors
>>
>>51614047
>The host will open one of the doors you did not select to reveal a goat

This definitely suggests that he will always pick a goat, but as the above poster said, it doesnt really matter. The question asks what will happen when he does.
>>
>>51614047
Because if he showed you the car the mystery would be gone and if he showed you the goat behind your own door, you'd choose again rather than stay or switch

You listed 3 scenarios, but scenario 2 is actually 2 different scenarios, one where he opens Door 1 and one where he opens Door 3.

This is 4 scenarios total. 2 of the scenarios where you switch you lose, the other 2 you win. Thats 50/50 shot of winning.
>>
What if I want a goat?
>>
>>51614186
This is basic game theory to the point the game had evolved because it has become common knowledge. It's like how wheel of fortune gives you RSTLNE because everyone chose those before, now the final phrase is much tougher.

This problem is famous, particularly for how switching is mathematically proven after initially being counterintuitive in thought. Read up on it instead of being a stubborn tard.
>>
>>51614228
Which door he shows you when you pick door 1 is irrelevant, you still have a 1/3 chance of picking the car door as opposed to the goat door ergo switching wins.
>>
>>51614228
Scenario 1: 1/3 chance of happening
Scenario 2: 1/3 chance of happening
Scenario 3: 1/3 chance of happening
In scenario 2, there are two scenarios within it
Scenario 2a: 1/2 chance of happening
Scenario 2b: 1/2 chance of happening
1/2 of 1/3 is 1/6, so
Scenario 1: 1/3 chance of happening
Scenario 2a: 1/6 chance of happening
Scenario 2b: 1/6 chance of happening
Scenario 3: 1/3 chance of happening

An easier way to see why you should change is explained like this.


There are 1 Million doors.

Behind one is a car, all the others have nothing.
You need to pick one, after you pick one the host opens all the doors except for yours and one other.
Do you switch then ?
The answer should be an obvious yes.

No there isn't.


Before the doors are opened, you have a 1 in a million chance to pick the right door.

What is more likely, that you by sheer luck managed to pick the right door, OR that the other door that isn't opened has the car behind it.
Thats why its not a 50/50 chance.
You are confusing possible outcomes with actual chance.
if you had 2 doors from the start and no other action was done, then yes that is a 50/50 chance.

It's probably difficult to think about at a small scale. Imagine there were 1000 doors and 999 goats and only 1 prized car. Then Monty opens up 998 doors with goats behind them.

It should be pretty obvious that opening doors with goats behind them requires knowledge of which door leads to a car. Therefore it "affects" the probability of the remaining doors that are opened.

>>51623704
the point of that scenario is to demonstrate that selecting one door than opening others while assuring that one of the two remaining has the car means that switching is always the logical choice. it's just that the more doors you do it with the better your odds of getting the car by switching. the absolutely worst case scenario is OPs pic related.

This is what I question.
You can't have three choices when one that was always wrong is gone.

Three doors, one prize, then the odds are 1/3.
Two doors, one prize, then the odds are 1/2.

The early information is irrelevant. It is a sunk cost.

It's just implementation details m8, how do you propose i pick the door that both isn't the original choice and isn't the opened door?
Look at

The opened door can never be picked, neither can the original choice (if switching that is).
>>
>>51625314
You can't. That is the point.The early info is meaningless. I know the math is reflecting some weird quantum mechanics shit where behind the door is some goat car hybrid, but fuck it. Real world after a door is destroyed, then you are left with 50/50 odds.
>>
>>51625345
I don't really understand what you're trying to argue.
Yes when their is 2 doors left there is a 50/50 chance, that's exactly what my results reflect.
It's just that some people think that wether you switch or stay you get the same chance of winning.

>>51625371
Staying should also show 50/50 odds. You results show 1/3, though there is only two doors.

>>51625345
You are wrong. There is math that proves you're wrong.
>>
>>51625390
No, because when you made your choice, there was 3 (three) possible doors.
Just because a door was revealed AFTER picking doesn't magically turn your choice into a 1/2 chance of winning.
But then if you switch, your choice is out of two doors, turning your chances of winning into 1/2.

To try to explain it verbally, you've initially got a 1/3 chance of being right. This means you've got a 2/3 chance of being WRONG. When an incorrect door is removed, you're given the choice between staying the choice you have (which is either right or wrong), or switching (which is essentially INVERTING the correctness of your choice). So by switching, you go from having 2/3 chance of being WRONG to 2/3 chance of having actually switched successfully (relative to the start of the exercise)

Fourth option wherein you get 1/3rd of the new shiny car which turned out to be a shitty prius and you get 2/3rds of a goat as you can see in the original picture, the goat does not continue after the door ended, that is a 2/3rds goat.

>Pick door 2
>opens it
>has another 3 mini doors in it
What now? What the fuck are you gonna do?
>"Open door 3"
>host opens first door 3 to show it has 4/3rds of a goat
>"NOOO I MEANT DOOR 3 IN DOOR 2..."
>slams it shut so hard it ruins 1/2 of the door
>"door 3 is fucked now and if there was a prize behind it, even though you know there isn't one now, it would be 1/2 of 2/3rds because half the door is gone"

Next show the host was only paid 1/2 of 1/3rd of 1/5st of his salary so he quit which means the gameshow only aired for 1/3rd of the block so the whole thing was changed from 1/2 of an hour to 1/3rd of an hour and only broadcast to the first two thirds of the TV screen on the last third of the day and the host ends the show by saying "FUCK" which is 2/3rds of "FUCK OFF"

I understand this, but let us say I just came in and was told to pick a door. We all agree it is 50/50.

Now what if the monty hall problem was assignable with a little game theory. So three doors. I pick door 1 and monty says it isn't door two. Stay on one or move to three. You break down and use your magic assigning problems. You now give it to the guy in the first paragraph who has no knowledge of what we just did.
>>
>>51626952
Nice thinly veiled 3/5 joke there, lad. Wews abound.
>>
>>51626836
How does this happen though? Like, how does the probability get inverted? I'm guessing you're assuming because you switched, so did your correctness?

At the end of the day, it will be 50/50, because you still don't know what is behind the remaining two doors. So it doesn't matter if you stay or switch.
>>
>>51627252
When you ignore the first part of the problem, you are absolutely right in concluding it's a 50-50 chance. But the first part of the problem is there for a reason. It is not filler or misdirect.

>free as in freedom
>botnet

choose one
>>
>>51613220
You can safely assume that the host knows that trick, so he'll try to bait you into switching only if you picked the right door to begin with. So you'd definitely want to switch, goats are GOAT and make awesome pets.

Please educate yourself niggers

Always switch

Classic Monty hall problem
>>
>>51627295
Imagine like some other posters said, that there are 100 doors
You pick a door at random (1% chance) and the host opens 98 doors. Now there are two doors left, but the host DOES NOT let you switch, and you have to stick with your original choice. What are the odds your door is the right one?
>>
Never switch

An goat is greater than a car
>>
>>51613365
what a load of crap
>>
>>51630870

50%
>>
>>51613220
it depends what the botnet is used for
>>
>>51631019
How do you figure? You already made the choice, 1% of the time you pick the car, 99% of the time you pick a goat
After doors open, you don't get a chance to change your choice, so the odds don't change at all; at this point, you've already lost if you picked a goat door (99% chance)
>>
>>51631019
You'd be correct IF the door you chose also has a chance to be revealed.
>>
>>51631191

It doesn't matter what happened before. If there's two closed doors and you have picked one, there's 50% chance of you being right, regardless of whether you switch or not.

And this is why probabilities are bullshit.
>>
There are 2 doors 1 of them has a prize

Someone explain simply why the fuck it isn;t 50%

It's just math bullshit. In real life everything is 50/50.
>>
>>51631241
>>51631191
Imagine this with 100 doors, and the host reveals 98 goats leaving you with a choice between two doors, the first of which you picked at a 99:1 probability, the second of which maybe maybe contains a goat but only if you picked right on that 99:1 probability.
>>
>>51631286
Because there aren't 2 doors, there are 3 doors
>>
>>51631328
Enough with the 100 doors example already, I know what you mean and I know mathematically speaking your odds are better by switching doors, but from a logical standpoint it doesn't matter how many doors were there before, there's just two now, one of them is correct, and you picked one. It wouldn't matter if you switched.
>>
>>51613220
It's a bluff by the gameshow host. He knows we've heard of the monty hall problem and uses that to his advantage.

I stay with the original door.
>>
>>51631369
>from a logical standpoint
You're disregarding the information being provided by Monty. He is showing you a door that is guaranteed to not have the car behind it based on the door you originally chose. i.e. Unless you originally chose the door with the car behind it, you are forcing him to show you a particular door and it is not random.

If Monty showed you a door you didn't pick at random, then it would be 50/50, but he would also occasionally just show you the car.
>>
>>51631369
No, since the initial door cannot be revealed by the host, its probablitity cannot be enhanced.

It's like you're allowed to choose between door A or both B&C (you will win if either B or C is correct)

A = 33%
A OR B = 33+33 =67%

There's nothing spooky or philosophical BS involved. Pure math.

I got 99 in data management, 98 in functions and physics :^)

>i went to a low-tier school

cool story bro

also it never says the host cannot reveal the initial door, just that in this particular instance he revealed a non-chosen goat

Now there are 2 doors

Are you legit retarded?

please circle in the OP's image where it says anything about what the host can or cannot do

>>51631610
> then, the host will reveal one of the doors you DID NOT SELECT to reveal a goat

>>51631620
doesn't say he can't

says he didn't, but no reason why is given

for all we know he is acting completely randomly

>>51614707

That's just it, there isn't a 50% chance:

There is a 33.3 repeating chance of a car behind your door if you stay, 66.6 repeating if you switch.
>>
>>51631916
>implying you are older than 15
>>
>>51627297
But then what is the difference? How does 1/3 become 2/3 by switching instead of 1/2.

This is some quantum mechanics bullshit.
>>
>>51614038
>not reading the text
>>
>>51632187

Because your odds are 1/3 when you choose the first door.

If you never switch, your odds remain 1/3: Ergo, the other, remaining must hold the remaining 2/3s of the odds.
>>
Monty Hall problem only works if the presenter always reveals a goat no matter what you pick. It's counterintuitive because the natural assumption is that he's being a dick and only revealing the goat because you picked the car. You have to specify that he always reveals a goat.
