People should simply choose to abstain. I mean it's all a matter of choice right? No more relationship problems. No more divorce. No more...
The condition you allude to, the host turning over a cup, in your view therefore changes the probabilities? As shown I have adjusted for this by...
Unfortunately I think I get where you are coming from only vaguely. Did you take into account that there is an assumption inherent in the Monte...
Sure. Tree ____Step1____Step2___Reformulated to match problem A________* 1/2 = 1/6 -> 1/6 -> (1/6)/(3/6) = 1/3 _____1/3 B________*...
Ptunic, if you try to illustrate the ENTIRE scenario from the beginning, you will see the direction from which a 1/6 computation was made. Note I...
Fine. I think I already did this but the spacing came out badly. We'll see how it goes this time. T1 T2 * 1/2...
GTS solve the problem through use of a decision tree properly and you will clearly see where the 16.66% comes in. That the calculation is...
There is a way of solving the problem logically without using a decision tree but using a decision tree properly I think requires the 16.666%...
Create a decision tree and use it to solve this problem. That should make things self-explanatory.
Make a decision tree and calculate the probabilities at each stage. It will work out as I have stated. This is elementary stuff. The source...
Let's see. What is the ratio between 1/6 and 1/3? Same as 1/3 to 2/3. Do you understand why that is pertinent to the given example and the...
Oh brother. Wikipedia is a nice resource but it is useful, believe it or not, to have actually studied the topic too. Maybe you'll understand if...
Went back and read the article again. I see an early paragraph says the chances are 2/3. The phrasing and posing of the problem and the...
I've read the aforementioned article GTS. Have you?
I get the feeling you are unfamiliar with the use of decision trees in statistics. The chances of you picking the correct cup is 1/3 true but...
I'm not a programmer so I'd easily get lost in a true programming language. My familiarity with programming is actually in large part based on my...
I wanted to show to some of the others that how you came up with the 1/6 probability was understandable. Still after reviewing the Monte Hall...
I believe batman28 was calculating the odds of each branch of the decision tree 1/3*1/2 = 1/6 1/3*1/2 = 1/6 2/3*1/2 = 1/3 2/3*1/2 = 1/3...
The more you know the more you know that you don't know. Doesn't sound like intelligence has much to do with being happy.
Detective, RIMM and AAPL might be shorts on a fundamental basis but if past history is a guide there will be a decent window of opportunity to...
