one of the better ways ive seen ppl explain it. congrats!

[LaZer_Raptor]

Me: switches the door
Also me: finds out mt initial door had cash in it
Lmao

[Robot-Overlord]

Its better to switch, except for 1/3 of the time. Which is still significant in a betting pool.

[Kelper]

There isn’t an “all the other doors”, one was removed for being wrong. There’s only one door

[fla_mingoer]

I can finally understand the Monty Hall was just even getting frustrated before😩😩😹😹😹😹

[bellawotring]

OMG THANKYOU!!! we went over this I. Class and I never understood and I've been really confused but now I get it

[shamantN]

This is the best explanation to the Monty Hall problem I've watched.

Me who actually wants a goat so i lost intentionally: Wait... I DON'T GET THE GOAT???

[sandiashvrR]

All these years....now I got it.. thanks : )

[davidseed]

this is why you are fooled.
when you chose a door you choose at random.
suppose it was another contestant. they would also choose at random.
and they might get the prize amd they .might not.
amd if they 'chose' the goat it would make no difference in switching.

BUT the host (Monty Hall) is not choosing at random. he knows where the prize is and will not open that door.
what the host is effectively doing is allowing you to open two doors.
you know that one of those two doors is a goat. snd he shows you which one.

ive just thought of a different way of doing it suppose monty hall opened one door, showed you a goat and then closed the door.

he has just told you what you already know. one of the doors you didnt choose has a goat.

Now he says keep the doir you first selected. or open both of the other doors .

it must be clear thar opening two doors is better than one

[dhaufjebzjchseis]

another method is to think of the goats as two different goats then draw out every scenerio and you will see 1/3 scenerio is when you chose the right door and 2/3 scenerio is in the other door you can switch to

This makes it so much more clear thank you so much

[nalingoel]

This is so intuitive! Best explanation of the Monty Hall Problem I've seen!

Thos doesn't help me because "1 or 3" was left out of the conversation entirely. It also had a 67% chance. So you'd have to explain why revealing door 3 doesn't equal affect "1 or 3" vs "2 or 3."

Simply put,
● You know from the start he would not choose to reveal what's behind door 1, the one you picked.
● By intentionally revealing that door 3 has a goat, he is also revealing that he intentionally, with awareness, did NOT pick door 2 as having a goat.
● You now have a choice between 1.) The door you picked at random as possibly having the cash, or 2.) The door the host picked intentionally, with awareness, as possible having the cash.
● Obviously the door picked as possibly having the cash, intentionally, by someone with awareness, is more likely to have the cash than the door picked by you, at random, without awareness.

It is not intuitive that he is revealing this this much information. But if we use logic, we can discern that he is.

Life lessons
1. Pay attention to what people do on purpose, vs what they do at random. It reveals a lot.
2.) If someone does something intentionally, with awareness, pay attention to what they also intentionally chose NOT to do, with awareness. Sometimes doing something "good" is a cover for not doing what is right.

Okay. THIS makes sense. Best explanation I've seen. But it's still a chess game. And a show host could simply use this against someone and trick them into changing from the winning door.

The idea to switch based on statistics now makes sense to me. But there is still in fact a 33% chance it's in door #1.

[Dmitriy]

If the host will reveal the goat anyway then it's just a 50% chance from start.

[jessekremer]

I see some people still dont understand so maybe this will help.
Lets say instead of 3 doors you have 100, and behind one of them is a prize, now ur asked to pick a door after which you think is the prize, this initial choice have a 1/100 chance of being the door with the money. Now lets say after this initial choice all doors but one dissapear and the money door cant dissapear, there still is a 1/100th chance that ur initial door is the cash because of the first choice, so therefore there is a 99/100 chance the other door is the door with the money. This is the same but just with bigger numbers

[Cen_t]

The craziest part is that if your friend runs up on the stage and opens any one door with the goat, the chance is 50-50

[Sen-xeug]

ok this was the only explanation I understood

Marksesl: No, if the host revealed the car, it doesn’t matter if you had the car because the game is nullified, and you will get to play again. If the goat was factually revealed randomly, your chances are then 1/2. If the car is accidentally revealed, it's a blown game, and you get to play again.
Marksesl: If you knew you had the goat and then switched, the odds would be 50.50. You are always allowed to switch. Nobody would stay with the goat.
