Question

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? Write a discussion post that assumes you're on that game show in this situation. 1. What would your immediate instinct be in this situation? What action would you take? 2. What do you feel that most people would do, if they were faced with this situation? Is this different from what you would do, why or why not? 3.
