- Notes:
- Probability of wining when all the three doors are closed = 1/3
- Probability of wining if your initial pic was correct = 1/3
- Probability of wining if your initial pick was wrong = 2/3. Switching will win for you.
- Scaling a problem to 1000 doors helps to understand the solution.
- Deploying a strategy: Ex. Assuming that you pick door-1. If your
friend opens door-2, you will NOT switch.
- Your chance of wining fall between 1/3 (min) and 2/3 (max).
Table:
Choice Prize Opened door Stay Switch 1 1 2,3 x 1 2 1,3 x 1 3 1,2 x 2 1 3 x 2 2 1,3 x 2 3 1 x 3 1 2 x 3 2 1 x 3 3 1,2 x Total 3/9 => 1/3 6/9 => 2/3 You double your chance of winning if you switch.
