Running the simulation with 3 doors gives ~33% chance of winning, switiching doors gives a ~77% chance of winning.

why still

This is why you shouldn’t rely on memory, and analyse things properly every time.

I made a slight mistake in the progam, where if you initially select the car, it can give you the same door you selected as the option to swap to. I haved fixed it here :

public class MontyHall
{
public static float calculateProbability(int doors, boolean swap)
{
Random rand = new Random();
int repeats = 1000;

int wins = 0;
for(int i = 0; i <=…[Read more]

I made a slight mistake in the progam, which shouldn’t effect the probabilities much, but I haved fixed it here :

public class MontyHall
{
public static float calculateProbability(int doors, boolean swap)
{
Random rand = new Random();
int repeats = 1000;

int wins = 0;
for(int i = 0; i <= repeats; i++) {
// Place the car behind a random…[Read more]

Turns out I recalled the solution inncorectly. I wrote a simulation to test the problem, swapping doors idoes mprove your chances of winnining.

Turns out I was wrong, I wrote a simulation and it does improve your probablity of winning.

Switching doors doesn’t statistically improve your chances of winning the car, the Monty Hall problem is a good example of how raw probabilities can be misleading.

The easiest way to demonstrate this would be to write two computer programs that randomly select doors. The first program always switches doors, the other will always keep it’s door.…[Read more]

I’m not sure how much I agree with this. From my experience most people who go to university are of average or below average intelligence. And if they already had knowledge then there is no purpose in them attending a university course.

There are still people who believe that today.

Why?????? just why????

Trolls

Just buildings

I’m okay

Elevation is a social construct, don’t be geophobic.
