Imagine you are on a game show hosted by Monty Hall. Monty shows you three doors. Behind one of the doors is a prize, like a toy or a treat. The other two doors have no prize behind them. You choose one of the doors. Then, Monty, who knows where the prize is, opens one of the other two doors that doesn't have the prize behind it. Now, Monty gives you a choice: Do you want to stick with your original choice or switch to the other unopened door? Surprisingly, it is better to switch doors! This is because when you first picked a door, you had a 1 in 3 chance of choosing the right door. But when Monty opens one of the other doors, the chances change. If you switch, you now have a 2 in 3 chance of winning the prize. It might seem strange, but statistics show that switching doors gives you a higher chance of winning the prize in the Monty Hall problem.
