You’re probably muttering that two doors mean it’s a 50-50 chance. Ok bub, let’s play the game: Try playing the game 50 times, using a “pick and hold” strategy. Just pick door 1 (or 2, or 3) and keep clicking. Click click click. Look at your percent win rate. You’ll see it settle around 1/3. Now reset and play it 20 times, using a “pick and switch”...
That’s the hard (but convincing) way of realizing switching works. Here’s an easier way: If I pick a door and hold, I have a 1/3 chance of winning. My first guess is 1 in 3 — there are 3 random options, right? If I rigidly stick with my first choice no matter what, I can’t improve my chances. Monty could add 50 doors, blow the other ones up, do a v...
Let’s see why removing doors makes switching attractive. Instead of the regular game, imagine this variant: 1. There are 100 doors to pick from in the beginning 2. You pick one door 3. Monty looks at the 99 others, finds the goats, and opens all but 1 Do you stick with your original door (1/100), or the other door, which was filtered from 99? (Try ...
Assuming that “two choices means 50-50 chances” is our biggest hurdle. Yes, two choices are equally likely when you know nothingabout either choice. If I picked two random Japanese pitchers and asked “Who is ranked higher?” you’d have no guess. You pick the name that sounds cooler, and 50-50 is the best you can do. You know nothing about the situat...
Here’s the general idea: The more you know, the better your decision. With the Japanese baseball players, you know more than your friend and have better chances. Yes, yes, there’s a chance the new rookie is the best player in the league, but we’re talking probabilitieshere. The more you test the old standard, the less likely the new choice beats it...
Here’s how I visualize the filtering process. At the start, every door has an equal chance — I imagine a pale green cloud, evenly distributed among all the doors. As Monty starts removing the bad candidates (in the 99 you didn’t pick), he “pushes” the cloud away from the bad doors to the good ones on that side. On and on it goes — and the remaining...
The general principle is to re-evaluate probabilities as new information is added. For example: 1. A Bayesian Filter improves as it gets more information about whether messages are spam or not. You don’t want to stay static with your initial training set of data. 2. Evaluating theories. Without any evidence, two theories are equally likely. As you ...
Here’s the key points to understanding the Monty Hall puzzle: 1. Two choices are 50-50 when you know nothing about them 2. Monty helps us by “filtering” the bad choices on the other side. It’s a choice of a random guess and the “Champ door” that’s the best on the other side. 3. In general, more information means you re-evaluate your choices. The fa...
Let’s think about other scenarios to cement our understanding: Your buddy makes a guess Suppose your friend walks into the game after you’ve picked a door and Monty has revealed a goat — but he doesn’tknow the reasoning that Monty used. He sees two doors and is told to pick one: he has a 50-50 chance! He doesn’t know why one door or the other shoul...
Jul 31, 2024 · A mutation in the gene coding for enzyme B could lead to the production of a non-functional enzyme. Explain how. Mutation causes a change in base sequence of gene which leads to a change in amino acid sequence. This changes the hydrogen and ionic bonds which changes the tertiary structure.
