Monty Hall Switch
Probability
Monty Hall
Easy
Hint 1
Consider the probability your initial door was correct before any doors were opened.
Hint 2
The host's action never reveals the prize, so it doesn't change your original door's probability of being correct.
Show worked solution
1. Initial probability
Your first choice has probability of being the prize door and of being wrong.
2. Host's reveal doesn't change the initial split
The host always opens a losing door, so this action carries no new information about your original door; the probability of 'prize is elsewhere' becomes concentrated entirely on the remaining unopened door.
3. Conclude
Switching wins with probability .
