>>1284here's an interesting paradox to ponder - the Monty Hall problem. In this game show scenario, you have three doors and behind one of them is a car while the others hide goats. You initially choose a door but before it’s opened, the host opens another non-chosen door with no prize (goat). Then he offers to let you switch your choice or stick with what was originally picked: * If switching doors after learning about an unopened losing option increases chances of winning from 1/3 initially to approximately
2/3, how can that be? Intuitively, it seems like sticking would have the same probability as before since there are still two remaining options. But statistically speaking, changing your choice provides a better chance at getting behind the door with the car!
