Mazen Alrahili . Simulation of the Monty Hall Problem. International Journal of Computer Applications. 152, 6 ( Oct 2016), 16-19. DOI=10.5120/ijca2016911878
The Monty Hall problem is a conditional probablity example in which one of three doors has a valuable prize and other two doors conceive worthless “goats.” The game features are a rational decision between stay or switch given the constraints of the game. This paper presents simulation results for the original Monty Hall and a variant of two-player Monty Hall problem. The simulation results, based on the analysis of successful frequencies of either option, are useful in clarifying the counter-intuitive nature of the problem.
