The Monty Hall Problem (7/12投稿記事の英訳）

Quiz

This time, we have a simple quiz. This is a problem related to one of the games from an American game show hosted by Monty Hall.  The rules of the game are as follows.

  1. There are 3 doors. There is one participant.

 

  1. Randomly placed behind the doors, there is a goat, another goat, and the actual prize, a car.

  1. The participant picks one door (For now, let`s say they pick A).
  2. Monty will open one of the two remaining doors, B and C.
  3. The door Monty opens will have a goat behind it.
  4. Monty will ask if the participant wants to change which door they picked.


And that`s about the gist of it. Taking all that into consideration, if you were the participant, would you change which door you picked? We`ll tell you the correct answer, and explain why next time!
