The purpose of this Probability Project is to show your
understanding of what you have learned in Module 3. You will watch
a video and apply the appropriate probability concepts from this
module. You will discuss your learnings in a 2-page paper as
outlined below.
Instructions
This is a fun assignment to do. In chapter 5 you learned about
basic probability and learned about conditional probability. Now,
you get to see these two in action. You may have heard of the TV
game: "Let’s Make a Deal," where at the end of the show,
contestants are presented with 3 doors and they are informed that
behind one of the doors is a brand-new car. So, the contestant
chooses one of three doors. Then the game show host (First one was
Monty Hall), opens a door and reveals a goat. Then Monty asks if
the contestant wants to switch or not. So, the question is, what is
the probability of winning? Should I stay, or should I switch? What
would you do?
Imagine that the set of Monty Hall's game show Let's Make a Deal
has three closed doors. Behind one of these doors is a car; behind
the other two are goats. The contestant does not know where the car
is, but Monty Hall does. The contestant picks a door and Monty
opens one of the remaining doors, one he knows doesn't hide the
car. If the contestant has already chosen the correct door, Monty
is equally likely to open either of the two remaining doors. After
Monty has shown a goat behind the door that he opens, the
contestant is always given the option to switch doors. What is the
probability of winning the car if she stays with her first choice?
What if she decides to switch? Think about what you think the
answer is: stay or switch?
1. Watch a TEDEd video that explains the problem: “Should I stay
or should I switch doors?”
2. Write a paper that includes:
a. What did you think the probability of winning the car was,
before you watched the video? (3 points)
b. Information from the video what the answer really is (3
points)
c. How can you use probability and probability rules in arriving
at the answer? What probability ideas does this demonstrate and
use? Explain and give examples. You may use other sources as well
but make sure to cite them (you may want to watch the extended
version of the video if you are not sure, watch the Monty Hall
Problem video. (15 points)
d. Are you surprised by the answer to the question “stay or
switch”? Does it make sense? (3 points)
e. 2 pages long, using size 12 font, double spaced, cover page,
references included. (3 points)
