We began our class by visiting a retro game show clip of "Let's Make a Deal" with Monty Hall. This gave the students some background understanding of the former TV personality. Then students were shown another short video clip that set up the problem. Students were then asked to stand up and stand to a designated corner of the room that represented their opinion (3 possible choices). I then separated the students into workable groups to answer their chosen question.
THE QUESTION CHOICES:
After revealing a door, you can keep the original choice, or switch to the remaining door.
1. Is there a higher probability of winning if you stay with the original door?
2. Is there a higher probability of winning if you switch to the remaining door?
3. Does it not make a difference; same probability either way?
This poster explains the groups requirements:
HOMEWORK: None for tonight, except group work assignment.
