Simple question faggots.
If you say 50%, you're a retard.

The correct answer is that you double your chance to win by switching.

You're first choice had 2/3 chance to be a goat.

i get that it works, but it's seemingly stupid. In my head, if two different people were playing two different instances of the same permutation of the game and they both initially pick different doors initially, they would both still be encouraged to change doors when in reality they would just be swapping doors. In the end, why the fuck wouldn't it be the same if they stayed on their doors because in theory someone could have ended up on the door they picked after going through the motions anyways?
>>
At this stage, post goat reveal, your chance of winning the car is 50% - one door has the car, the other doesn't. 1/2 chance aka 50% probability.

I don't see how switching would in any way increase your chances.
>>
>>682124742
Because if 2 different people played this game, they would be playing separate individual games.

Why would you think 2 people would be playing overlapping games?

>>682125128
two people don't actually have to be playing the same game... it's hypothetical. The door you initially picked is just a door you could have ended up swapping to.

>>682122499
If a coin is flipped eight times, and comes up heads eight times, what are the odds it comes up heads on the next flip? 1 in 2. What are the odds it comes up heads 8 times in a row? 1:256

Then there is the discussion. Switching doors is the second of these questions, not the first. By including an automatic rejoinder that the host will reveal a goat door, you have turned the problem from a simple coin flip, to 3 coin flips.
>>
>>682125802
No it isn't.

What's behind each door can't magically swap after you choose a door, that's not how reality works.
>>
>>682124742
first what >>682125128 said and secondly, it might be more intuitive if you'd think it of differently and focus on the chance of picking a door with a goat behind it. When you first choose a door, there's a 2/3 chance of you picking a goat. The chance of you choosing a goat is TWO times higher than choosing the car.

now if I have to choose one room... there's a 2/3 chance of me picking a room with a goat. Those are pretty substantial odds. so now the host removes a room, the one with the other goat! Now the only room that is left must be the Lamborghini. Because with the other goat removed i now have a 5/6 chance of having chosen the first goat. so i'm not going to switch and i'm going to fuck this goat! Alluh Achkbar

So if you wanted the car... you should switch.

Logically it's a 50% chance.

If it starts with a 1 in 3 chance, and one of the doors is removed, it becomes a 1 in 2 chance.

Only a tard would think it's different than that. Unless there was a pattern between where the goats are.

I can't believe this is even up for debate. This is simple math. You do not "double your chance to win" by switching. Your initial choice of door is in no way a variable that influences the odds of a car being in one door or the other. Its a blank slate and you are simply choosing between one of 2 doors, one of which has a car. The fact that you picked one door first, and you are "switching" your decision to the other door has absolutely no bearing on probability. Its exactly the same as just picking the other door initially.

Its 50/50, and the fact that there is even a debate on this shows an extreme lack of understanding in basic math concepts.

This doesn't make any fucking sense. Say I picked door 2(L), you're saying even then my chances are 5/6 that I picked the goat because some idiot opened door 3(G). You would then switch from the lambo to the goat. Why is this outcome less likely?
>>
you have 66% chance to pick a goat first pick and a 33% chance of picking a car in the first pick. you have better odds of picking a goat then picking the car. By swapping out of the goat you change your odds from picking a goat 66% of the time to 66% picking the car.

First choice = 1/3 chance of winning

Aggregate odds of unpicked doors being a winner = 2/3

One of two unpicked doors is revealed as loser.

Remaining odds:
Your initial choice 1/3 odds of winning
Other remaining door 2/3 odds of winning

You cannot disregard the initial odds and claim "it's now 1/2" ..you can simulate this thousands of times and the more times you do so the closer the data will point to a 1/3 chance of winning without changing your initial door choice and a 2/3 chance of winning if you do change doors free the reveal.

>>
>>682130662
Best way to explain this.
>>
>>682131100
There is no 50% in a choice of 3.
That's not possible.

Your first choice had a 2/3 chance.to be a goat.
Host reveals a goat.

If there's a 2/3 your door is a goat, and now you know where a goat is, there's a 2/3 chance the only other door is the prize.

There is no argument on this, it's fact.
>>
just imagine that there were 100 doors and not 3. the host opens all the doors except the one with the car and the one you chose. you had a 1/100 chance to pick the correct door so there's a 99/100 chance that switching will result in a win.
>>
>>682131550
I understand that but if they're revealing one to be a goat, you could simply take it out of the equation. So now you have the choice of 2 doors
>>
>>682129478
Actually you are right, i stand corrected. If you scale it up it you really see it... lets say you pick between 100 doors, 99 have a goat and one has a car. Then the host reveals the other 98 doors that have a goat and you can either stay or switch. You would have to be incredibly stupid not to switch.

Apparently I need to brush up on my basic math understanding. Who says 4chan can't be educational?
>>
Ok guys look, youre saying 'there's a 50 percent chance the door I chose is a car since he showed one of the goats' but you need to look at it from the start of the game. There was a 2/3 chance you chose a goat from the start, regardless of the fact that one would eventually be revealed.

Again, it's a game of chance, so theres no way to know for certain where the car is, but you have a greater chance getting it if you switch. Mathematically.

>>682130271
This.
>>
Ok, think about it this way, I hope this well be a lot more intuitive.
Suppose there were 1 million doors to begin with in which 1 has a car and 999,999 have a goat.
You pick one door. Now the host opens 999,998 other doors which all have a goat inside them. So 2 doors remain in total
Would you switch?
Of course you would. It's so unlikely that you picked the door with the car originally. However, since the host knows where the car is, he opens 999,998 doors which have a goat. So it is VERY likely that the door which he didn't open has a car.

The crux of this argument is that the host KNOWS where the car is. If he didn't know where the car was, then switching and not switching would have the same odds.

Hope this helps.
>>
>>682131895
i can't believe that you are such a big idiot
>>
>>682122499
Seeing how the host didn't listen to me the first time around I'd just stop playing his silly game, walk up to the doors, open them both, get in the car and drive out of the studio.
>>
>>682131710
You can't take it out of the equation, because there are, is, and always will be 3 doors.

Your first choice is 1/3 there can never be any 1/2 because you chose out of three.

If your first choice had 1/3 chance of being the car, then there's a 2/3 chance the car is ANY door DIDNT choose.

2/3 the car is a door.you didn't choose.

Open one of those doors.
STILL a 2/3 chance the car is a door you.didnt choose, but now there is only one door you didn't choose.

2/3 that door has the prize.
Unless you think the car and goats can magically change which door they are being just because one door got opened, but that doesn't make sense unless.you believe in magic.

>>
>>682132532

>>
>>682123638
this is only true if you assume the host would only switch away from you initial choice isn't a goat. If he just switches from goat to goat your logic will fail.

Just enjoy the seagulls squabbling next time you.see this thread.
>>
>>682132271
This isn't how the probabilities work, and the host's knowledge doesn't change your chances.

The basic idea is that assuming the door chosen and door opened to reveal a goat are arbitrary, there are 3 total possible outcomes: 2 of which where you chose a goat first, and 1 where you chose the car first. So in 66% of cases, switching doors gives you the car, and in 33% of cases switching gives you the other goat.

That's incorrect. The host HAS to open the doors which have goats in them, he can't open the door which has a car.
Look at the table in the wikipedia page:

>>
>>682122499

OP is right and not a faggot this time. This is the so called "Monty Hall" problem.

First you have a 1/3 probability of winning since there are 3 possible events. The host opening the third door introduces one possible event that narrows down the probability to 1/2.

By switching you increase your conditional probability of winning to 2/3 since you have to account for all possible outcomes in the probability tree.

It's not like a coin flip, which has no memory. Choosing one door affects the hosts's opening another door. Hence, we have to account the conditional probability.

increase your chances of getting the car only if you have more than 1 try and the car stays behind the same door.

Already been done - results are there
>>
The fact that one of the doors is opened is irrelevant. The question should be rephrased, "you are allowed to pick one door. The host tells you information that you already know (at least one of the doors you didn't pick has a goat). Do you switch to the possibility that the car is behind either of the other two doors or do you stay with one door only?" The fact that the door is opened and you see the goat is clouding your judgment.

Why do people keep repeating this shit and not just take a while and think for themselves. It doesn't matter if you switch or not, whatever choice you take, you already know one thing: One of the doors you didn't pick has a goat, the thing that will change is whether there are 2 goats, or 1 goat and 1 car in the doors you didn't picked, what you know FOR FUCKING SURE is that at least 1 goat will be in one of the doors you didn't pick, what difference does it make when that door is revealed to you? You are not gaining any new information, you already knew that, and the situation changes because you are not going to choose the 3rd door anymore, you either have 1 and 2, the 1/3 probability cannot be applied anymore because the situation changed, it is 1/2 for each door closed.

Its not about reading the hosts actions. You don't need to read the hosts actions, they are stated in the question. The host will remove one door from the 3. A computer simulation wouldn't take this into account during its original decision unless programmed to do so (not that it would effect the original decision since it is arbitrary anyways). This paradox isn't a math problem. It's a comprehension problem. The math is the easy part. You can label the doors whatever you want, and make neat little graphs, but if you fail to understand the question your math will always be wrong. You aren't choosing from door A, B, and C, you are choosing between the unopened goat door, or the car door.

This. Can we put this to rest already? The question in the picture is about switching, unless the fucking goat switches places with the car behind the scenes then the chance of winning stays the same whether or not you switch. Two doors, one choice, 1/2 = .5 = 50%

Its a scam. The car is behind all three doors, and the two goats are trained to move to a new door, in accordance to what the presenter repeats from the competitor...."..So you want to stay with door one?.....". You always lose.

Mathematically it is correct to say chances are 2/3 to win a car if you swap. Does it mean you should always swap? No, becouse it still a probability measure. In terms of logic, it doubles the chance of winning a car. But it's still 2/3 chance, not 100% guarantee. You can analyze it on pure probability base, to define which choice is better in means of more probable. But to say swapping gives you winning is wrong - it only gives you bigger chance of winning. Actualy there is whole another theory depicting this situation, called theory of risk or game. Think of those 1/92 situations in poker, how many times staying by your chances to get this one winning card paid off? It's about risk

The catch here that reconciles why the correct answer (always switch) makes sense, but seems to defy conventional logic, is that the host does not select a random one of the two doors you didn't choose. The host ALWAYS picks a goat door. You only need to briefly consider the implications of that to wrap your head around the problem.

That's still wrong. The question is to be looked at as a whole, not two parts. If what you say is true and the math gets changed as soon as the door is opened, then in a simulator it would be 50/50. However it isn't 50/50 so you're just straight up wrong. Look at the picture in this post. Illustrated are all the possible positions of the goats and car. Assuming door 1 is always chosen, 2/3 times it's a goat. Since the host ALWAYS reveals a goat, a switch on the occasions when a goat was picked first results in the car being won. The chance of winning by switching, assuming that the host always reveals a goat and does not open your door, is 2/3 and not 50/50.
>>
>>682153533
Fair enough.
But do you understand it yet?
Do yo agree that switching doubles your chance to win?
>>
>>682154530
>still wrong

It is not 2/3, it is 1/2, because you're never, let me repeat, NEVER, going to choose the door the host opened for you, unless you're retarded.

What does that leave you with? That's right, 2 doors, a door with a car, and a door with a goat, the host is not doing anything beneficial or detrimental to you, since you already know a door will have a goat on your first choice, regardless if he opens it or not.

How are you still confused even after seeing the chart? There are three scenarios. In two of them switching wins the car. In one of them switching got a goat. It's as simple as that.

if you pick 1 door from 100 doors, host reveals goats in 98 doors, there's 2 doors left, then you would switch and the chance of winning would now be 99%. you'd only stay if you were severely retarded.

Except the host ask you if you want to stay or switch, which means you're pretty much choosing which door again, how can you not comprehend that is beyond me, it's 1/2 now, base your math and assumtions around that, instead of the 1/3 you clearly are not going to choose a goat that is already opened.

Your math isn't wrong but it doesn't apply here as you aren't properly comprehending the situation. This is a problem of both comprehension and math. One must be able to comprehend that the math creates a 2/3 probability of winning if one switched. That's the math. I know I can't convince you of your error but thanks for at least hearing me out. Peace
