Mathematics and Statistics colloquium : Generalisations and variations of the Monty Hall Problem |
Other events...
|
The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle based on an American television game show. Some generalisations of the original problem are considered here:
- The probability distribution is generalised from equal likelihood to an arbitrary known prior distribution, with the number of doors changed to a general n.
- Optimal decision rule among a class of randomised strategies is derived.
- The behaviour of the host and its consequences are taken into account.
- Variations and further generalisations are considered.
