$$$ The Monty Hall Problem $$$ | |
============================== | |
In the Monty Hall game show, you can pick one of three doors. One | |
door has a brand new car for a prize. The other two doors have | |
worthless goats: | |
+------+ +------+ +------+ | |
| | | | | | | |
| 1 | | 2 | | 3 | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
+------+ +------+ +------+ | |
Say you pick Door #1. | |
Before the door you choose is opened, another door with a goat is | |
opened: | |
+------+ +------+ +------+ | |
| | | | | (( | | |
| 1 | | 2 | | oo | | |
| | | | | /_/|_| | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | |GOAT||| | |
+------+ +------+ +------+ | |
You can choose to either open the door you originally picked, or | |
switch to the other unopened door. | |
It may seem like it doesn't matter if you switch or not, but your | |
odds do improve if you switch doors! This program demonstrates the | |
Monty Hall problem by letting you do repeated experiments. | |
Play the game! | |
