Monty Hall Game [Closed]

[Benevolent Thomas]

So I've been given a statistics project in which I've got to ask a bunch of people to do the Monty Hall problem, and I'm hoping that some of y'all would be willing to help me out. The Monty Hall problem is a game in which the participant (you) will be presented with three doors. Behind one of these doors will be a prize and behind the other two there will be nothing.

How this game is going to work:

1. You will post below telling me which door you have selected (1, 2, or 3)
-I will already have a list of future trials with a predetermined prize door.
2. I will post below (quoting your post as to not get games confused), eliminating one of the doors with nothing behind them.
3. Post a final message telling me whether you intend to keep the same door, or change your choice to the other remaining door.
4. I will then post again notifying you whether or not your door contains the prize.

The help is greatly appreciated. You can play the game multiple times if you wish. As for the prize, I'll send the winners an additional 100 tacos to the 30 that you will get just by playing the game. After I reach the needed number of games (which will vary dependent on the outcomes), I will likely close the thread as I am not made of tacos

I've eliminated door number 2 as it is not a prize door. Would you like to keep door number 3 or trade it for door number 1?

[Trecdom2]

Door #1 sounds like a good choice.

I've eliminated door number 3 as it does not have a prize behind it. Would you like to keep your original choice of door number 1 or will you exchange it for door number 2?

Monty Hall opens door 2 to find no tacos behind it. Ouch 10 games and no winners. Thanks for helping me out with my project though and enjoy the consultation prize of 30 tacos for posting.

Let's go Door 3

I open the door to only have both of our hopes dashed, the correct door was number 1. Feel free to continue trying and I hope you like the 30 tacos.
