Chapter 8.2, Problem 11MS

Monty Hall. Read and rework the Let’s Make a Deal scenario from Chapter 1, “Fun and Games.” Work through the solution. Next, find a friend and simulate the Let’s Make a Deal situation, keeping track of the outcomes under the two possible strategies—the switch strategy and the stick strategy. Perform the experiment approximately 40 times and record the results. Do the experimental data accord with the analysis of the probabilities? You can simulate Let’s Make a Deal by visiting the Heart of Mathematics Web site.
