What host of “Let’s Make a Deal” lends his name to a probability problem?
When it comes to game shows and probability, one figure stands above the rest, even decades after his show first aired. The host of “Let’s Make a Deal” who gave his name to a famous probability puzzle is none other than Monty Hall.
The problem he inspired is one of the most debated in all of mathematics because of its deeply counter-intuitive solution. It goes like this: Imagine you’re a contestant on his show, and Monty presents you with three closed doors. Behind one is a new car, and behind the other two are goats. You, of course, want the car, so you make your first pick—let’s say Door #1.
