it depends if the host knew that the door he was opening was a goat door

if he didn't, it makes no difference

what if the host decide to troll you and put a 2 fucking lions behind the 2 other doors
>>
>>54622019
Yes
>>
>>54621959

One of them has a 33% win chance, the other 66%.
>>
>>54622031
Because if your first selection was a goat then if you switch it's guaranteed to be a car, since the other goat has been revealed

So 2/3rds of the doors are winners if you switch as opposed to 1/3rd of the doors if you stay
>>
>>54622026
It doesn't depend on anything. He always reveals a goat. This is part of the scenario.
>>
>>54621959
If you switch the 33% becomes a 50%, do you even math?
>>
>>54622113
if he does it by chance it's very different to if he's using his knowledge of what's behind the doors to reveal one of the goat doors
it literally does change the odds
>>

Nope. No wind resistance. The plane is essentially sitting stationary

>>54622026
the host always know the door he was opening has a goat

typically he knows what behind all 3 doors except in a period of years when they decide to didn't tell the host where the car is but he always know the door he open to has a goat
>>
>>54622149

Why are you twisting the original scenario?

The host ALWAYS opens a goat door. There wouldn't be a gameshow if he opened the car door.

what if you had 100 doors, and you picked one, and then the host opened up 98 of them and asked if you wanted to switch? Would it still be 50% behind either door or would it be 1% and 50%?

This is the only correct answer.

if they had 100 doors with 99 goats and 1 car
now you pick one door, the chance of getting the car is 1%. after that they open 98 doors reveal 98 goats, will you switch to the unopened door or will you stay with the 1% chance door you originally picked?

Before this turns into a troll thread, you want to switch

3 scenarios:
-you chose the right one first time, and hence when you switch you dont get it
-you chose one of the wrong doors, so switching will give you the correct door
- you chose the other wrong door, so switching will give you the correct door

i.e. 2/3 times switching will give you the right door

It messes with our gut instinct because you feel you should still have a 50/50 chance. But it changes because the game show host changes the situation.
>>
>>54622484

You realise with math, 1 can equal 2, right?

If you don't spot the fallacy ... 1 = 2, even though it doesn't.

Well, the illusion is that the host has nothing to do with it (he does). But even if the choice is done by a machine, the machine knowingly doesn't pick at random, but makes a distinction between a prize door and a goat door. The host/picker is the key to the illusion.
>>

Illusion? There is no illusion.

It is pure math. This is why gameshow hosts don't do this shit anymore because it has been solved.

but if I see the goat behind the door i picked first
then there are two doors left and I can choose one of them so why would i want to switch
>>
>>54622461
Now that 98 doors have been opened, the one selected has a 50% chance to be the right one, like the second one.
It's basic probability. If you flip 3 coins and get 3 heads, the probability of getting another head is still 50%. The chance of getting 4 heads in a row is the same as getting 3 heads and a tail.

Like the chance of 98 doors plus yours being wrong is just as likely as the 98 doors plus the other one left being wrong is

The way I remember it being explained was this:

Imagine there are 100 doors and behind one of them is the GOAT goat that you want to find.

You choose one at random, and suddenly all doors except the one you chose and one other door open to reveal nothing.

There are only two closed doors left.

Your choice now is to stay or switch.

You can either choose the one you originally went with (something like 1 in a 100 chance of being right) or you can choose the closed door you didn't pick.

You're going to want to switch, statistically
>>
>>54622806

I am 100% convinced that you don't know how to read.

Go re-read the scenario.

why are you retards extending the example to 100 doors when the initial question only has three
do you think it makes it simpler when there are more doors to think about?
>>
>>54622806
goat-car-goat switch and you win.
goat-goat-car swith and you win
car-goat-goat switch and you lose.
How can you not understand that?

Let's say it's configured like this:
goat-goat-car

You pick door one. The host opens door two. Asks if you want to switch.
>you stay with your door, get a goat, you lose
>you switch to the new door, get a car, you win
>option three: OH WAIT THERE IS NO OPTION THREE
there are two things you can do, one win outcome, one lose outcome. Can you divide 1 by 2, /tv/?

>>54622395
Are you retard? The odds don't change. You picked the door at 1/100 odds, just because 98 doors have been openned doesn't mean your starting odds are changed.

Let's think about it in reverse. Let's say there are 99 red coloured balls and 1 blue coloured balls in a bag. You take one out but you can't see the colour. Now, 98 red balls then get taken out of the bag. Do you think the ball in your hand or in the bag is more likely to be blue?

Picking the door to begin with was the choice. Sticking with the door is not a new choice because you've already made the choice. It would be like asking for orange juice and then for the orange juice to arrive and you say I just made a second choice to have orange juice.

Wrong. When you pick one door and he removes a goat you get a 33% chance if you stay and 66% if you switch.

The Monty Hall never has a 50% chance.

It's not rigged when the computer switches up the choices you mongoloid.

If you played it manually you could cheat, yes. But when you simulate 1000+ iterations you still get the 33/66 split.
>>
>>54622551
But out of those three scenarios, one is already omitted out of the equation. you can only choose one wrong door because the host eliminates the "other" wrong door. So shouldn't there still be two outcomes?
>-you chose the right one first time, and hence when you switch you dont get it
>-you chose one of the wrong doors, so switching will give you the correct door
>- you chose the other wrong door, so switching will give you the correct door

So delete the last probability and there are still 2 choices.

All in all i understand why i am wrong, you get extra information from the host and that makes the probability different than it was before but in practical terms, it makes no difference because when you are standing there in front of the doors it's still basically 50/50, pick one door or the other.
>>
>>54623334

How many survivors will there be?
>>
>>54623307
Nope you just suck at probability. If you stay you got a 33% of winning, if you switch it's 50%.
They don't add up to one because they are conditioned on different states.

No, you don't even understand the question.

It's 33% vs 66%. Anything you say otherwise is objectively wrong. Go try a simulator or google Monty Hall.
>>
>>54622887
I understood this thing like an year ago on a VN but I forgot I did

The fact that they wanted to pick a door with a goat and chose say the 3rd implies the other two have one car.
If yours (1st) has it, they could choose between the 2nd and the 3rd freely.
If the 2nd has it, they were forced to choose the 3rd

1st being right gives a 50-50 chance that either other 2 doors are chosen to show, 2nd being right gives a 100% chance that 3rd is chosen
This means that the event that led 3rd to be chosen to show is more likely the 2nd door being right

If you picked the right one he could choose between the two (one odd on one door, one on the other)

This makes 2 odds for one door and one for the right one

2a-2b=2(a-b)=c

c=c

What if you switch when there are two doors but then decide to switch again. A double-switcheroo? Does that mean it's your door 100% then since you switched once to cancel out the 33%?

>>54624231
no

dividing (a-b) = dividing (a-a) = dividing by 0. He asked for proof not involving division by zero you pretentious fucking clod. That isn't a mathematical proof it's a fucking joke.
>>
Okay, if you still don't get it:

Your door has a 2/3 chance of being a goat. Of the remaining 2 doors, it is absolutely certain that there is at least 1 goat behind them, so the gameshow host showing you a goat does not change the probability of you getting a goat. Now if the probability of there being a goat behind your door is 2/3, the probability of there being a goat behind the other unopened door must be 1/3, so you should switch.

Information was hard to come by in the pre-internet days. That's why "hacking" payphones and shit worked. Because exploits were more underground so the people running the shit didn't know about people doing it.

>>54624282
Exactly. The choice was made at 1/3 odds, the fact a door was openned doesn't change those odds. It is only after switching with the new information that the odds change.

I think you mean 66.666666x2%. Real talk though, why would switching again double your odds are you a fucking retard?

I said it was a fallacy, you illiterate cunt. Those who can't into math won't spot it though. That was my point the whole time.

"Pure" math can be used to prove falsehoods, just as in this 3 door problem. Yes, on paper it's 33% & 66%, but in practical terms it's 50/50.

Actually Deal or No deal is just pure luck and taking the bankers deal at a decent time.

It makes no difference if you just pick one and open the rest with no regard for swapping since you are the only one opening it. The only variable is the bankers offer.

That doesn't matter since you're the only one who opened boxes. It is literally a 50/50 chance in Deal or no Deal.

It's not the same because you haven't got the element of the host opening the door he knows is a booby prize. In DOND you just have two random boxes you've chosen.

You and all the other pretentious idiots ITT aren't clever for knowing the answer to this problem. Accomplished mathematicians more intelligent than you used to deny the correct answer. I'd wager some people here don't even truly understand why you should switch, they just read on wikipedia that it was the right thing to do.

Except you get two choices, not just one. The original selection, and whether you switch. It's always advantageous to switch because you had a 1/3 chance to select a goat, and the host will ALWAYS reveal a goat on "his turn".

I don't get it at all. Let me walk through this. Ok, 3 doors. Could be any one of them has the cool goat you want, rather than the stupid car or the loser goat.
So, door one. Might have the Fonz goat. Then someone says, you sure? So you go with door number two.
Why didn't you just pick door two in the first place then? In effect, you were always going to pick door two. Sucks to be you if the goat is behind door one, because you just had to change your mind because someone asked.

So let's say it's behind door three.

So you pick door one, and he asks if you're sure. So you go for door two because your OCD requires it for some reason. You think "Well, there's a 50% chance I was correct to change for some reason. I mean, I don't know that my first choice is right and I have no idea why I'm even changing, but yeah, one of the other two are somehow better."

What the fuck?

PS Maths is gay.

Stopped reading.

>>54625973
It's actually a literal autism test as it relies on you assuming that Sally has different information than the viewer has.
>>
Mythbusters tested this, in case anyone wants a better understanding of what the idea is.
>>
>>54625995
That's my point. The test is designed to test for autism in young children, nothing else. Therefore I think it's unlikely that you will get a similar response from adults autist or otehrwise.
