Probability theory

edit

If you're interested in probability theory, read about the Three Prisoners problem. That's easier to understand that the Monty Hall Problem, as it doesn't have two separate steps that may confuse students as to how probability should be evaluated - all actions in that problem happen as a single event.

Monty Hall Problem

edit

Following your recent change to Monty hall please consider this. Every reliable source says your assessment is incorrect. By my reading they would disagree with the opening of a door (2nd phase) redefine completely the game as a game with odds 50-50. There are two options, either every mathematician who has studied the problem is incompetent at maths or your assumption is wrong. If you believe the former then I suggest you perform some experiments to show that the odds are 50:50 and publish otherwise try considering that your assumption is wrong and see if the proposed solutions make sense with an open mind. If you do try the latter I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.SPACKlick (talk) 13:54, 9 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I realized. Thank you. I'm not familiar with WP. Sorry. I focused the missleading element contained in the game and I wrote it in the Talk: section "The probability is 2/3. Where is the trick?". I hope it is useful for somebody who make the same error. Alessmaga (talk) 12:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Alessmaga, sorry, I didn't notice when I undid your removals that you were the original poster. It's still probably not ideal to remove the sections without explanation, though, given that someone already went to the trouble to respond to them. --Trovatore (talk) 08:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks trovatore. I'm not familiar with WP and I preferred to change my "erroneaus contribution" (oxymoron) with onother. Alessmaga (talk) 12:16, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
