There are three closed box labeled with A,B,C. And only one of them with one concert ticket. Now you choose A as your box, then you friend open B and find it is empty. Then you have chance to stick A or switch C. Which probability is larger stick or switch? Now we can denote open B be one event OB. Would you like to explain why P(OB /A)=1/2, and P(OB/C)=1, Thanks
