2. Explain the Monte Hall Paradox with a Contingency Table. The Monte Hall Paradox comes from the Morning Game Show "Let's Make a Deal" which used to be shown right before the "Price is Right" 5 days a week. Monte Hall was the name of the Host. For the final deal there are 3 doors labeled, Door #1, Door #2, and Door #3 (yes that is what they were called). One of the three doors was a Grand Prize and behind the other two doors was nothing. The Contestant would pick one of the doors, for the purpose of this problem (let's say they picked Door #1). Then Monte Hall would open one of the losing doors, (let's say Door #2 just to keep it simple). Now the Contestant has a choice, they can stay with their choice (in our Example Door #1) or change to the remaining door (in this case Door #3). The Paradox is that the remaining door (in our example Door # 3) actually is the door with the Grand Prize 2/3 of the time. Explain why it's not 1/2.

2. Many municipalities offer a variety of fare options for public transportation. This allows high use travelers a choice to pay a lower fare as a benefit of being a high user. The Transit Co. of Blue City, TX has three separate monthly bus fare options to choose from. The first is a standard “per ride" fare of $1.25 per ride. The second allows the rider to purchase a discount card. The cardholder pays $21 at the start of the month plus a fee of S0.50 per ride. Option 3 is a flat fee option where the rider pays $40 for thee month and may ride any bus at no additional cost during the month. Define the variable x to be the number of rides you take each month. Express each option as a function of x. Graph all three functions on the same set of axes. What is the break even number of rides between the options? If you only take 10 rides a month what option should you choose? If you take 40 rides a month what option should you choose? Watch the video posted in the Capstone #1 area involving…

The professor comes and tells them that only one has passed the test.“Which is it?” they ask.“I can’t tell you that,” says the professor. “I can’t tell a student their own fate before the results are declared.”Student A takes the professor aside. “Look,” he says. “Of the three of us, only one has passed. That means that one of my fellow students is still sure to fail. Give me his name. That way you’re not telling me my own fate.”The guard thinks about this and tells him, “Student B has failed.”Student A rejoices that his own chances of passing have improved from 1/3 to 1/2. But how is this possible? The professor has given him no new information. Or has he?What do you think? Has the chances of student A risen from 1/3 to 1/2 and if so, why? Or does it still remain at 1/3 and if so, why? Can you specify what the initial chances were of each student passing/failing, and what their chances are after the profeesor ha shared the result for b
