Oxford and Cambridge universities have special conditions that allow them to charge m…[Read more]

I don’t really understand why people are so obsessed about tuition fees in the UK. Nobody ever pays back much of their loan, so university is practically free.

For people who are not familiar with the system, I will explain how the UK system works currently. Firstly student loans aren’t actually loans, they don’t affect your credit rating or…[Read more]

It confused me at first too. I had looked at the problem in the past, but I had forgotten what the correct solution was.

Writing the simulation helped me to understant why this happens when you switch door.

Right now i’m not sure how else to explain it.

But you can run the simulation by hand if you have a pack of cards. If you replace the car with the ace of spades, and the goats with the 2 of hearts and the two of diamonds. If you place all three cards face down and shuffle their positions randomly you will see that you find the ace of spades more…[Read more]

This is why I gave the number when there are 100 doors, it’s easier to understand the effect.

That is correct.

The easiest way to explain this is that there is always a 100% probability of the car being behind a closed door. Which gives a probability of any of three doors having a ~33% chance of having the car if all doors are closed. This part I assume everyone agrees with.

When the goat door is opened it’s probability of having a car…[Read more]

I replied to the thread with my calculation.

The first step is to establish the capacity of the bath when full, for this I will create a fictional unit known as bath units. Using the first tap as a reference, the flow rate is 1 bu/min. This gives the bath a capacity of 12 bu. The second tap is twice as fast, so has a flow rate of 2 bu/m.

Next we must establish the flow rate of the drain. If…[Read more]
