Monty Hall Problem

Monty Hall Problem

S  -  Ep  -  1975//
High  -  min  
A game show, and choice of three doors: Behind one is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick door No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? Authored by Steve Selvin.
The Monty Hall problem is a probability puzzle, loosely based on the American television game show Let's Make a Deal and named after its original host, Monty Hall. The problem was originally posed in a letter by Steve Selvin to the American Statistician in 1975 (Selvin 1975a), (Selvin 1975b). It became famous as a question from a reader's letter quoted in Marilyn vos Savant's "Ask Marilyn" column in Parade magazine in 1990 (vos Savant 1990a): Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? Vos Savant's response was that the contestant should switch to the other door. (vos Savant 1990a) The argument relies on assumptions, explicit in extended solution descriptions given by Selvin (1975a) and by vos Savant (1991a), that the host always opens a different door from the door chosen by the player and always reveals a goat by this action„because he knows where the car is hidden. Leonard Mlodinow stated: "The Monty Hall problem is hard to grasp, because unless you think about it carefully, the role of the host goes unappreciated." (Mlodinow 2008) Contestants who switch have a 2/3 chance of winning the car, while contestants who stick have only a 1/3 chance. One way to see this is to notice that there is a 2/3 chance that the initial choice of the player is a door hiding a goat. When that is the case, the host is forced to open the other goat door, and the remaining closed door hides the car. "Switching" only fails to give the car when the player had initially picked the door hiding the car, which only happens one third of the time. Many readers of vos Savant's column refused to believe switching is beneficial despite her explanation. After the problem appeared in Parade, approximately 10,000 readers, including nearly 1,000 with PhDs, wrote to the magazine claiming vos Savant was wrong (Tierney 1991). Even when given explanations, simulations, and formal mathematical proofs, many people still do not accept that switching is the best strategy (vos Savant 1991a). Paul Erd s, one of the most prolific mathematicians in history, remained unconvinced until he was shown a computer simulation confirming the predicted result (Vazsonyi 1999). The Monty Hall problem has attracted academic interest from the surprising result and simple formulation. Variations of the Monty Hall problem are easily made by changing the implied assumptions, creating drastically different consequences. If Monty only offers the contestant a chance to switch when having initially chosen the car, then the contestant should never switch. If Monty opens another door randomly and happens to reveal a goat, then it makes no difference (Rosenthal, 2005a), (Rosenthal, 2005b). The problem is a paradox of the veridical type, because the correct result (you should switch doors) is at first sight ludicrous, but is nevertheless demonstrably true. The Monty Hall problem is mathematically closely related to the earlier Three Prisoners problem and to the much older Bertrand's box paradox.

A girl (SIri Neal) in an old fashioned nightdress runs through a gateway and into a church ground, approaches a large grey statue and clasps the moondial it supports.
Moondial begins with an opening night sequence showing a girl in an old fashioned nightdress running through a gateway and into a church ground, she then opens a very large gate and enters a garden garden -æshe reaches a large grey / white statue and clasps the moondial it supports. She then runs back towards a dark old house with a single light in the doorway. She runs along the path leading up to the light and then up some large stone steps. She peers inside and sees a small girl running towards her on the other side of the glass. Through the window a struggle between a young girl and an older person can be seen. After the death of her father Minty and her mother visit Aunt Mary (Minty's godmother). It is hoped that the break in the country will help Minty and her mother come to terms with the loss. Aunt Mary used to look after Kate when she was younger as Minty has her bedroom. Her mum shows Minty round the bedroom - full of old photos and in particular an old patchwork quilt full of Aunt Mary's memories. Minty and her mum can see the church from the bedroom window and decide to go for a walk. The scene then shifts to churchyard where Minty and her mother are walking. Minty goes round the corner of the church and discovers a barrier of cold air and a wind around particular stonework. It is now time for her mum to leave and Minty gives her a hug before she leaves in her car. Minty goes back into the house and sits down at a table spread with jelly, sandwiches and cake. Before she can begin eating, the telephone rings and Aunt Mary goes to answer it. Minty then learns that there has been an accident between Minty's mum's car and a lorry. Aunt Mary then says that a Mr Benson has gone to the hospital to see Minty's mum. Minty wants to go out for a walk but is told to stay away from the village. She is told to go and see the large House with Will World at the lodge.

Minty (Siri Neal) once again approaches the moondial. She clasps her head in her hands and becomes more and more disorientated. Her surroundings appear slightly different. She sees an estate gardener in the distance disappear and then reappear before her eyes.
Minty returns to the garden and walks down a long pathway set between the lawns. She seems to know that she has been here before but is unsure when. Minty then sees the Moondial (she callsæit a sundial) and as in her dream the night before she touches it. Minty appears to become faint. She clasps her head in her hands as she is becoming more and more disorientated. All at once the spinning feeling reduces and Minty appears to come to herself although the surroundings appear slightly different. She sees an estate gardener in the distance disappear and then reappear before her eyes. The moondial then starts to spin very fast. Minty holds her head and keeps her eyes closed during this motion. She steps off the Moondial unsure of where she is and runs towards the house. Mr Benson asks Minty to return to the hospital as there has been no change in her mum Kate's condition. Minty then goes back into the large house and stands in the main entrance (black and white chequered floor). She then walks to the large outside window seeing the moondial at the end of a large grand pathway. She calls it a sundial and goes outside to it and then places both hands on it and closes her eyes. We then see the whole dial rotate with her on it. Minty then opens her eyes and it is nighttime. She cannot believe that the hours have past so quickly. She can hear a small girl singing to herself (one of the songs is "boys and girls come out to play"). Minty joins in and then tries to speak to the girl but only gets to know the girl's name before an unseen adult woman comes forward and grabs Sarah. Sarah is obviously terrified of this woman and rushes off. We hear the woman saying "you've frightened the moon away" in a stern voice. Minty then closes her eyes and asks to go back and the dial then rotates again. When it stops, however, she finds that it is day time again but she is now back in Tom's time period. He asks why she has been away for days even though in Minty's time it has only been a single day. Tom's cough is getting noticeable worse.

We learn that Tom's sister Dorrie (coachman gave him a message) has sent some word of where she is. Minty agrees with Tom that it would appear he has grown in stature since they last metæTom then admits that Minty is not the only ghost he has found in the gardens, she is smaller and only seen at night. He reveals that Sarah is her name, to which Minty says that she has also seen her. Before anything else can be said, the gardener (Mags) appears and shouts at Tom . Both children run off and hide round the back of the house. On looking around the corner Minty sees a coach and family with maids and footmen in attendance. Tom is again shouted at by the footman who apparently cannot see Minty though. Tom at this point discovers that he is the only one who can see Minty and in order to prove this, takes her into the kitchen. The cook and maids look right through her and admonish Tom for standing doing nothing. The nasty cook grabs Tom and marches him down dark corridor and locks him in dark room. Minty who had followed also finds herself locked in. Minty at this point sits down and closes her eyes and when she re-opens them, finds herself once more in the present day and back beside the moondial. Back now with Aunt Mary the two are making up the room for Ms Raven. Minty is most upset to find that Ms Raven has been in her room looking at the pictures on the wall and asking questions about them. Minty then lies on her bed and records her thoughts into a tape machine. "Tonight, I will go tonight, before she gets here" Minty says to herself. Later that same day she runs into the night in just her night gown. She runs through the church gates and across the graveyard. She is then stopped by the large closed gates leading to the large house. She thus goes through the bushes and over a wall before walking slowly down the path towards the moondial. She then stops at the moondial and asks it "Who are you ?" She then touches the moondial and closes her eyes. It begins to rotate.

The Moondial comes to a stop and Minty is again back in the past and finds it is night there to. She leaves the Moondial and walks down the path in the dark. Minty continues downæthe dark path and hears a girl's voice singing and catches glimpses of others following the singer. The singer is Sarah a young girl and gradually she is surrounded by hooded boys all chanting "What's the time Mr. Wolf?" They shout louder and louder, then the words change and Minty hears them shouting "Moondial" - "Moondial" - "Moondial." The chanting again changes to "Devil's child." Sarah starts screaming and so Minty rushes forward shouting. The boys are frightened by this unexpected course of events and so scatter in all directions. Another voice is then heard harshly shouting "Sarah", "Sarah." Sarah, then falls to the ground in a faint. The hooded figures vanish into the night and the Governess, for want of another title, then appears - lifts Sarah to her feet and reviles her with the words "you really are a devil's child." Minty finds herself back in her bedroom again. We are unsure here as to whether this is a dream or not but it looks like morning. Minty is walking in the trees, surrounded by mist she can hear voices - children's voices. Now she can see small cloaked shadowy figures running around. The children are stood in a ring chanting "Devil's child" going round and around a small doll like figure in the middle. The doll has a cloak and a sack for a head. The children now start to hit the figure with large sticks and then stamp on it shouting "Dead." Minty watches them parade round the doll before they throw it onto the fire. Minty is back in the her world now and goes to see World. She asks about the dial and the path and the figures attached to the moondial. World says that he has a book on sundials that he gives to Minty. He tells her that Clock time is mean time, Sun time is apparent time, Real time is star time" to which Minty asks if this is the same as Moon Time. World does not know but supposes so as the moon and the stars are seen together. Minty's tape is given to Mr Benson for her mother Kat to listen to. It is hoped it will bring her out of a coma. Back in the House Minty sees a small bag in the hallway. She can hear voices in the kitchen and goes to investigate. There she is introduced to Ms Raven (those of you who watch / remember Blake's 7 will recognise her as Servalen) by Aunt Mary.
