A really cool trick and really well explained. Love these little mathmatical puzzles

Thanks so much! Love this puzzle

The easiest way to understand this is to realize that you have a 66% chance of picking a goat door in the first place, and when you remove the remaining goat door, there's still a 66% that you picked a goat door, but now there's only two doors left. So it's 66% chance that the door you're on is a goat door, so you should switch. The whole reason this is confusing is because we're used to a random elimination process. I.e. if the host removes a random door without telling us that it was a goat door that he removed. If that was the case, then it would make no difference to switch or stay.

Maybe this is one is just over my head, but I still wasn't convinced the chances were anything other than 50/50 after one option is eliminated haha. But either way, excellent video per usual!

I made a program in java, to replicate this scenario 100,000 times, 50,000 times where i swap doors, and the other 50,000 times where i dont swap doors. It's true. swapping doors does increase the chance of you getting the prize. program did it in under 2 seconds btw

I cant blame you - it feels very counterintuitive. However, the 2 possible scenarios, while equivalent in terms of the remaining 2 items, are different in their probability of arising. You're twice as likely to have messed up your first guess, so after the goat reveal, you're twice as likely to be currently at a goat door than a car door. Yes, no matter what, there is a car behind one door, and a goat behind the other, but you're just more likely to be on the goat after the first guess.

These are good responses. I feel like I should convinced. Here, fix this thinking. I feel like it’s equivalent to just having two doors. If you know it’s not behind Door C, it’s only behind Door A or B assuming the question is posed to you every time you are giving the three door selection and make a choic, either right or wrong initially. So you have door A, or door B. One is right. One is wrong. That’s 50/50?

Loved the very visual explanations, it gives a different level of understanding

Monty hall deniers have an issue of not knowing the difference between possibility and probability, yes it’s possible that I could walk home and find a million dollars on my bed and it’s possible I might not, just because there’s two choices it doesn’t mean it’s a 50/50

Love the video, but I noticed one problem. Deal or No Deal is not an example of the Monty Hall Problem. This is because the whole point of the problem is relying on the fact that the host knows they won’t reveal a car. In Deal or No Deal, however, you are the one choosing, and therefore it is just by luck that you made it to the last two boxes without seeing the 250k. In that case it is just 50/50. If I made a mistake (I’m 13 so I probably did lol) , I would love to know where I went wrong as I am starting to learn more about probability. Good night everybody 💤

Don't doubt yourself too much because of your age, theres a lot of really smart 13 year olds out there. I think you are completely right here, the logic behind the problem depends on the fact that the door opened will always have a goat behind it, which means that there is a 2/3 chance the other door has a car and a 1/3 chance the door you picked is the car. Ive never seen deal or no deal so im not completely sure, but assuming the boxes are opened at random you are definitely right

@rhysscale912

10 ай бұрын

If I had to guess I would say that the £250,000 starts as the car and if it stays in the game until the final two boxes then great. However, if the £250,000 is revealed and therefore removed from the game I'd imagine the next highest amount (£100,000 I think) would replace it and become the new car. I might be wrong but that makes sense to me as I don't think the car has to only be the jackpot but it can be whatever you decide is the best prize to win, of course in deal or no deal this would just be the largest amount of money still left in the game.

So relaxing. A camera perspective video from the past.

Hey Dido ! may you please cover more linear algebra topics ❤ I've been binge watching your videos almost every night since I found your channel (it's that good!!) ... all the love from south africa

SIMPLE TERMS: You have a 1/3 chance of choosing the correct door. That means you have a 2/3 chance you DID NOT choose the correct door. Because of this, there is a 2/3 chance that one of the other two doors has the car. When one is proven to be a goat, the probability remains the same (there is still a 1/3 chance you chose the correct door originally and a 2/3 chance you didn’t). If you switch doors, you are virtually picking two doors, as you are choosing the 2/3 chance rather than the 1/3 chance.

Question: In DOND, you aren't guaranteed that the 250k will end up as part of the two boxes at the end -- rarely does it ever. Therefore, doesn't this mean that the principle of Monty Hall is only dependent on situations in which there is 100% chance of getting to that situation? (i.e. if the producer always guarantees the car/jackpot within the last two unopened boxes?)

yes I also think in DOND it doesn't work, since when you eliminate the boxes you can actually eliminate the 250k, whilst Monti Hall deliberately chooses a door where there's a Goat . So I believe it's 50% in DOND

That is not the reason switching doubles the chances of winning. You would have a 2/3 chance of picking a goat even if the host didn't know where everything is but no advantage in switching if he revealed a goat.

So, you stick. Win the goat. Milk the goat, sell the milk. Make enough money to buy another goat. Breed goats. Milk goats. Have a lot of goats, sell a lot of goat products. Become multi-millionare CEO of massive goat company. Get car and have money for like. Yw.

Win win regardless then for you! You can keep the goat 🐐

I was thinking about the deal or no deal example before you mentioned it but it doesn't really follow the Monty Hall Problem. With the original example, the host actively knew which doors had what behind it, and will actively remove the goat & you actively know the likelihood of picking a goat is double that of picking the car so it's logical to bet against it When it comes to the deal or no deal example, you have equal likelihood of picking either the £250,000 or 1p. Whilst the likelihood of not picking the £250,000 would be 23/24, it would be the same probability as not picking the 1p so there's no difference in betting in favour of your original pick or betting against it

My friends at school told me about this problem and I did not understand it at all. In my mind it would always be 1/2 chance after a door has been revealed. I know realise how I was terribly wrong 😅

Just found your channel! Love these kind of videos!

@ASMRMaths

10 ай бұрын

So this perspective on the right hand side of the comparison table is looking at if you were to switch every time you’re asked the question “stick or switch?”. Therefore, if you originally pick a goat, when the other goat is revealed, switching will win you a car 100% of the time. Whereas if you originally pick the car and I reveal a goat, switching will lose. So 2/3 times, switching will win you the car. Hope this makes sense!

@ASMRMaths

I should clarify, the reason you win 2/3 times when switching is because there are 2 goats. So if you KNEW you picked a goat, I reveal a goat, switching wins 100% of the time

When you pick the fisrt choice (one door), you know that at least one of the other two is a "Loose". Am I right? Nevertheless, if you were asked to change your door (one) with the other two (both) I think you would accept. Am I right? It doesn't matter if the host shows you that one of the two doors is a "Loose", you already knew it. The opened "Loose" door can make you think the final choice is between two doors (50% - 50%). The real final choice is between one door (out of three) and two doors (out of three), one of which is opened.

What if I’d prefer the goat?

When you first picked you had a 33.3% chance of being right. He eliminates a door he knows is wrong so it leaves you with 2 options the door you picked with that 33% possibility or switching and now knowing that 66.6% lies is one of the two remaining doors he eliminates one so chances now of that 66.6% go to the one remaining door. Your brain sees two doors left and thinks 50/50 but when you originally picked your door your odds were 33.3% those odds for ur first door remain the same after he eliminated the wrong door but increased that 66.6% from the two doors to the only other one remaining. Don’t look at the 2 doors as a new separate problem where your odds changed to 50/50 cause it never changed the fact you originally picked with 33.3 % odds

After being shown the goat, you’ll have a 1/2 chance to get the car by staying, and you’ll have a 1/2 chance to get the car by switching, because you can’t stick with the door that has been eliminated

@RonaldABG

10 ай бұрын

That does not make each remaining door equally likely to have the car. Remember that the host does not act randomly, but instead he already knows the location of the car and is not allowed to reveal it, so he does not fail in leaving it hidden in the other door that keeps closed in case the player has not managed to pick it at first. But as the player only starts picking the car door 1 out of 3 times on average, the host is who, using his knowledge, deliberately leaves it in the other door that avoids to open the remaining 2 out of 3 times.

So no matter what happens it’s always down to a 50/50! You pick any door and you will always be told which one it’s not 😂 100 doors you get told which 98 are empty so your down to 50/50 lol makes no sense

@klaus7443

Wrong. No matter what happens you can always stay with the prize you originally picked or switch to a door with the opposite prize. So the host didn't have to open a door to reveal a goat at all, he could have simply asked if you want to switch to the opposite prize when you first picked a door.

@@jacobbridges9075 lets go back to that first sentence Your odds were 1/3 of picking the car. You were *less likely* to pick the car. Therefore, *after* picking a door, it's *twice* as likely that door was a goat. If you agree with all that, the rest really should be obvious. If you keep disagreeing, do note that this is very easy to experimentally prove, i.e. you're demonstrably incorrect - all I'm doing is making an effort to help you see why I suppose I should debunk your logic directly too, to be safe Yes, there are always 2 doors at the end, and one is always the goat, and the other is always a car. That gives you 2 situations. Either you're on the goat, or the car. You don't realise that you've actually assumed these situations are equally likely to arise, and indeed if they were, it would be 50/50 odds. Yes, in isolation, that final choice is a 50/50, but the added context of the first round makes this no longer the case, as you've received information - specifically, you know as a prior that your current door is probably a goat. Thats all i can be bothered to say.
