A. J. West The comments shown in the video was made by the editor of the video. Not something she actually got. And also, your second statement about men dominate over woman is completely and utterly false. Almost all the cases we hear about, is men dominating women, but that's because those women are either more sensitive than men, or the cases with women dominating over men are seen as weak. I agree that men try to be more than they are, but that is because society forces that upon them. If men aren't strong, they wont be seen as equal.

A. J. West You think I keep a bank with all the links I've ever been on? NO! And did you just assume I talk over women all the time? How dumb can you get?! You keep making assumption without any valid bases. And you are slightly wrong there. Due to the way society works, if a man is socially weak, they are looked down upon. This results in them trying everything to gain status, and as a result, some end up talking down to women. There is nothing in our society that tells us we have to talk down to women, but as a byproduct of something else, we sometimes get that result. I won't deny some men talk down at women, but I also demand that you don't deny the opposite to be true as well. Some women abuse their own gender and abuse men, in such a way that society won't know. The reason mansplaining shouldn't be an accepted word, is because it tries to make women sound like they are abused more than men, which is not true.

@@SamsonGuest I don't really understand the question but I probably wouldn't be able to answer it anyways. But here is a comment that I'm copying because I think this is a good explanation for the problem: The best way I've heard of visualizing this is to imagine that you have 100 doors to choose from. 99 goats and 1 car. You choose door 47. Monty ignores you opens all doors except 47 and 62. What are the odds that your original guess, door 47, was right? Pretty low, obviously - that would be some guess. 1 in 100, to be exact. However, because Monty has to keep the car in the game, that means that 62 now has a 99% chance of being right. Apply the same logic to a 3 door problem, and you see it always makes more sense to switch. It's Monty's 'knowing things', and the futility of your random guesses, that makes it work.

The video is still being misleading. It's not reasonable to assume that sexism was the root cause, when all the letters she got are more easily explained by the fact that she ran a high-profile column in a popular magazine, whereas the men who gave the same answers in earlier publications did so in scientific journals and the like, which have much lower readership. I'd even wager that the idea that "no one disagreed" to the earlier answers is unfounded.

Rather, it seems that FIRST people thought "this is wrong" and THEN attributed it to her gender. With the only other instances of this problem appearing in journals that are obscure to the general population, the problem's appearance in Parade was very likely to be many people's first exposure to it, thus why so many letters were received arguing the answer.

If you switch in the second round you have increased your odds of selecting the car because there are less options and more information available.

Keep door chances: 1) you pick the right door (car), you keep and win 2) you pick the wrong door (goat 1), Monty opens the goat 2 door, you keep and lose 3) you pick the wrong door (goat 2), Monty opens the goat 1 door, you keep and lose So, by keeping, you have 1 chance of winning and 2 of losing (or 1/3 winning and 2/3 losing).

Summary is what you chose is probably wrong, plus the fact the host will always reveal another wrong one, further confirming your wrong initial choice, so the remaining is most probably the right one so always switch to that to maximize winning. Best non visual breakdown & explaining further, you only have 1/3 chance of choosing the car door, so switching has a bigger winning rate of 2/3. the host will ALWAYS remove a goat door which gives the change of choice (switching) an additional 1/3 (total of 2/3) compared to your initial choice of 1/3. this solution only works if the host ALWAYS removes a goat door. if the host doesn't open any doors then this will truly be a 1/3 chance of winning regardless if the host asks you to change your choice or not.

You have a 2/3 chance of choosing a goat at first. If you do, Monty shows you the other goat, so by switching, you get the car.

Dallas Van Winkle See, but dismissing men who disliked the video because of the word mansplaining in the title is very unfair to them. Generalizing all males who dislike the use of mansplaining as “triggered” implies that the are all one track minded, sharing a single reason for disliking the word’s use, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. The term “mansplaining” is sexist in and of itself because it attributes a non gender specific action (condescending equivocation) to a specific gender. Because I don’t want to advocate the usage of sexist terms, I disliked the video because of the hypocrisy of using a word like that. Many other people who I saw in the comment section had different reasons, one that I noted specifically that one didn’t like that Vox had changed the title from “mathematicians” to “mansplainers” in an attempt to get more views at the cost of being hypocritical. My point is, regardless of what gender you are, any kind of large generalization you make about any gender, is sexist. Using generalized, gender specific terms, is sexist. Also, it’s wrong to assume all the dislikers are men. Not saying the majority isn’t men, but obviously it isn’t 100%.

What do mansplainers have to do with this????

The crucial part of the problem is that the host always knows where the car is. Their decision for which door to open is based entirely on that information. If the host was also in the dark about the car location then your odds wouldn't change, but there is also a chance that the door the host opens has the car behind it so you'd lose no matter what.

Trust me, by today's standards, she would have been trolled in the millions of respondents if she had done this in 2015 (even though you would hope w/ google people would be able to see she was correct; then again, there are still Americans who believe Obama is a muslim...)

Monty Hall has a 2/3 chance of winning because he "owns" two doors. You only have one door and a 1/3 chance of winning. He opens one of his doors but he still has the same 2/3 chance of winning while you still have your lower 1/3 chance. Better to give Monty your door and the 1/3 odds while you get Monty's 2/3 odds of winning. Now, if Monty had scrambled the items behind the two doors left after the third door was opened, then you would have a 1/2 half of winning.

Nah, her answer is correct, many people forget about the host even though he is the most important part and it only works because of him. Having 3 doors with one correct answer mean you have 1/3 chance to win. The thing is the host always shows a wrong answer that is not a door that you have chosen. The host now has a 1/3 chance that he can not open one of the two remaining doors, because it is the right door. These 1/3 add up with the initial base chance of 1/3 making the door the host did not open a 2/3 chance.

This literally has nothing to do with mansplaining. At all.

Except how the video says that she got thousands of letter, too many of which were men trying to explain to her that she was wrong because of her "womanly" way of thinking (although she wasn't and those people never bothered to look up the many men that had given the same answer as her previously). It happened in 1990s, and the media had made an issue of the insecure "man-based explanation" faulty letters at the time, given that they felt it was a news-issue that she was the smartest woman and men hadn't previously received such responses for saying the same thing she said. Mind you most of the letters would have been from otherwise very intelligent academic men trying to plug their knowledge of "female psychological differences" although it wouldn't mean she would be wrong about the problem, they seemed to feel it would, at least partly.

Yes did men say to her that she was wrong because she was a woman, yes they did which is sexist but tacking on this new word to target one group just creates hate.

@ikidu1102

2 жыл бұрын

​@Mauricio Diaz Only partly correct. Like with anything, it works in theory and with a specific set of rules (that we know), but not how it often would work realistically aka applied in real life. Even Monty literally said himself in several interviews that it's completely up to him what rules he sets for the game. "I am the host." as he said. He decides the outcome, not you, not me and not the player. And he decides if he gives a player a 2nd chance. The Monty-Hall-problem only applies to situations in which Monty would give the player a 2nd chance and actually always eliminate the losing door and not somehow troll the player most of the time, which is very well possible. The host decides himself what he wants and it really depends on his mood. In other words: You only should always switch doors when we have this very exact same situation and rules that the Monty-Hall-Problem describes. So yeah, the solution 2/3 is correct, *in this scenario* . But more than often people tend to confuse this with realistic scenarios, in which more than often theory fails. We, as a player, realistically would actually have no information about the way how the host chooses the doors except if he clearly told us. Your chances of being right then will always be 1/2 in such a realistic scenario due to missing information. The scenario in which the player knew what the host is up to and he actually does always eliminate the losing doors, the probability would indeed be 2/3 if the player switched doors and thus the choice to be preferred since we actually do know that the host would only eliminate the losing doors. So, yes, the solution to the modern formulated Monty-Hall-Problem (not the original one from the magazine back then that was too wishy-washy) is absolutely to switch doors since the probability of winning the car is 2/3. But that doesn't mean that we "always should switch doors" unless we actually know that the host does only eliminate the losing doors.

The best way I've heard of visualizing this is to imagine that you have 100 doors to choose from. 99 goats and 1 car. You choose door 47. Monty ignores you opens all doors except 47 and 62. What are the odds that your original guess, door 47, was right? Pretty low, obviously - that would be some guess. 1 in 100, to be exact. However, because Monty has to keep the car in the game, that means that 62 now has a 99% chance of being right. Apply the same logic to a 3 door problem, and you see it always makes more sense to switch. It's Monty's 'knowing things', and the futility of your random guesses, that makes it work.

That was my immediate thought. There's taxation on prizes won on these games: You'll likely have to liquidate the car anyways, and get maybe 50% of its worth after taxes and sales costs. Maybe. A goat, on the other hand, has much lower taxes since its only a few hundred dollars- you can pay out of pocket. Then, you and your family have a reliable 1.) Source of milk - maybe cheese, if you know how. and 2.) Free lawnmower. The goat is the practical choice

It's interesting that the best way to prove that Monty Hall problem is to do a Monte Carlo simulation.

Conclusion (from bottom): Therefore, a higher proportion of people that changed doors were part of the 50% of people that won a car. (PRESS READ MORE) 4 scenarios: 2/3 (goat) x 1/2 (keep)= 2/6 (car) 2/3 (goat) x 1/2 (change)= 2/6 (car) 1/3 (Car) x 1/2 (keep)= 1/6 (car) 1/3 (Car) x 1/2 (change)= 1/6 (car) Total probability of getting a car (2/6 +1/6) = 3/6 Total probability of getting a goat (2/6 +1/6) = 3/6 (There is a 50/50 chance of getting a goat or a car provided that half of the people change and half of the people keep the door) HOWEVER, THE QUESTION IS; IS IT MORE LIKELY TO GET THE CAR IF YOU CHANGE THE DOOR However, the question is, is it more likely to get the car if you change the door: Car if you keep door = 1/3 (Car) x 1/2 (keep)= 1/6 Car if you switch door = 2/3 (goat) x 1/2 (change)= 2/6 Yes it is If 100 people did this (and half changed door and half kept the door) 100 -> (Keep) 50 ->16.6 car (1/3) ->33.3 goat (2/3) -> (Change) 50 -> 33.3 car (2/3) -> 16.6 goat (1/3) Total with goat= 50 people Total with car= 50 people Therefore, a higher proportion of people that changed doors were part of the 50% of people that won a car

Plus, when you're done, you can't eat a car.

Try thinking it about it this way: there are 1000 doors. You pick one, and it has a 1/1000 chance of being right. The car is much more likely to be among the other 999 doors. Now, since Monty Hall cannot reveal which door the car was in, he opens 998 doors with goats in them. If the car was in the 999 doors, he basically revealed which one has the car. This is just an exaggerated version of the problem.

Exactly considering it had already been published before why would academics disagree with an already trivial fact?

I think people are pretty justified in questioning this title. Savant was famous, and specifically for having a high I.Q. The answer she gave to this question seems counterintuitive to just about everyone. For my life I still can't comprehend why switching would improve the odds. So, a wave of mail telling her how she got it wrong is only to be expected given her reputation, and fame. Also women can send letters through the mail too. Why would you assume that it was just men who wrote her? The academic rejection is a mute point given that 70% agreed. Finally though, I take issue with the use of the word, "Mansplainers". If I disagree with another man, which I tend to do, he doesn't call me a "Mansplainer". The female narrator of this video also initially disagreed with Savant's answer. Is their a pejorative term to call her for disagreeing?

I think Vox is misinterpreting the evidence of Marilyn receiving such negative feedback.

Nope. It's laughable so many people keep getting this wrong. At first all doors are 1/3 chance. Once one door is revealed, there are two doors. That door you didn't select didn't magically take over the revealed door's probability, it's not like you could pick door 1 OR door 2 and 3 as a combo. You KNOW a goat will be revealed for the second round, so the first round is simply a waste of time, just pick any door, let the goat be revealed, then take a 50/50 chance.

There's an easy way to realize you should switch every time. If you pick door 1 and without showing you any other doors Monty says to EVERY CONTESTANT no matter which door you picked: "Would you like to keep door number 1, or take the combination of both 2 and 3?", no one would think twice: you'd take both doors 2 and 3 because you have 2/3 chance of winning the car. Well that's precisely why you switch every time you are asked: he's showing you ONE of the two other doors and then asks you if you want the OTHER one of those two doors - or, as I said: "do you want your door, or the other two doors instead?"

In that case, you would want to stick with your original choice. There would be a 2/3 chance of getting a goat that way.

Because the probability that you got a goat in the first place is higher, then you most likely have picked a goat, therefore by switching you will probably get the car, as it there is less chance that you got it in the first place. Simple as that. I don't know how they got to the actual probability, but it makes total sense. Edit: now I do. Because to switch and be able to get a car you have to get a goat in the beginning, the chances you switch and pick a car are the same as the chance you get a goat in the first place.

Interesting video, however I do not approve of the attempt of reinforcing the sexist term "mansplainers". It is a sexist term meant to silence men via gender shaming, by using it you are not just having a plain argument with the people that were wrong in those letters, you are also trying to shame them. As if no idea or answer was ever challenged or proven to be wrong, you seek to ridicule and shame those that were in the wrong and were slow to realize, even though most of them changed their opinion after a while. It just shows that on the long run people value truth over the gender of the one who says it. How many of the 10000 letters contained sexist and vulgar remarks? How many of them were from people that were trying to defend their standing in the academic world, or were having poor self esteem and were finding reasons to disagree? Notice how I said "people" and not immediately assumed they were all men, "mansplainers", because assuming only men can write such letters is sexist since we have this intelligent woman perfectly capable of solving math question that the majority of the population can´t, also notice the "population" and not "mansplainers" like you used. Overall it could have been a great video showing insight in the history of the math problem, but it ended up being weakened by an overall feeling of outrage and a subtle atack on the men that were on the wrong side of the fence, men that ended changing their view, but who the hell cares about that right? Hypotethically if I wrote an article on why women belong in the kitchen, and I get 10000 letters of criticism that attacked me for being wrong, and male etc, and I ended being proven right, could I then say that I stumped thousands of "womanplainers" ?(women+complaining) How would you react to that?

Not only that, there is plenty of evidence Vox decided to ignore which indicates that sexism did *not* play a significant role. Only one of the letters cited in the video even so much as mentioned vos Savant's gender. She was also the first person ever to publish the problem to a mainstream publication (Parade Magazine) rather than an academic journal like her predecessors. Even today, anyone who creates a KZread video or other presentation of the problem (the majority of which are men) can expect a nonstop sea of rude, ignorant commenters using namecalling and hostility in place of reasoned arguments to disagree with the swapping advantage. This can currently be seen on virtually any Monty Hall problem video on the web.

Because of the thousands of mansplaining letters (including hundreds of sexist/insulting ones) she received from a bunch of idiots who would not have (and had not) tried to explain something incorrectly to an intelligent man on this particular issue when it had come up dozens of times before. I think it was a mix of the media's "marvel" that a woman had the highest IQ, and blatant sexism, along with deep-seated psychological sexism (of which many scientific/statistically sound studies have been published).

I'm just stating that this problem was solved before on multiple occasions by men, so the answer was known prior to her saying it. She wasn't reinventing the wheel. She was restating fact basically, yet got plenty of gender-based opposition. To simplify my point, I see it as if she said 2+2=4 and people said "No, wrong. You're a women." That's a vast oversimplification and a much more understandable math problem, but this is more or less what I'm seeing.
