The Monty Hall problem is a brain teaser, in the form of a probability puzzle, based nominally on the American television game show Let's Make a Deal and named after its original host, Monty Hall. The problem was originally posed (and solved) in a letter by Steve Selvin to the American Statistician in 1975.
The Monty Hall problem is a puzzle involving probability similar to the American game show Let's Make a Deal.The name comes from the show's host, Monty Hall.A widely known, but problematic (see below) statement of the problem is from Craig F. Whitaker of Columbia, Maryland in a letter to Marilyn vos Savant's September 9, 1990, column in Parade Magazine (as quoted by Bohl, Liberatore, and Nydick).
Monty Hall problem, also known as the Monty Hall paradox: [2] An unintuitive consequence of conditional probability. Necktie paradox: A wager between two people seems to favour them both. Very similar in essence to the Two-envelope paradox. Proebsting's paradox: The Kelly criterion is an often optimal strategy for maximizing profit in the long ...
The three prisoners problem appeared in Martin Gardner's "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American in 1959. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is mathematically equivalent to the Monty Hall problem with car and goat replaced respectively with freedom and execution.
The Monty Hall problem is a puzzle involving probability loosely based on the American game show Let's Make a Deal.The name comes from the show's host, Monty Hall.A widely known, but problematic (see below) statement of the problem is from Craig F.

Two envelopes problem; Sleeping Beauty problem; The Monty Hall and Three Prisoners problems are identical mathematically to Bertrand's Box paradox. The construction of the Boy or Girl paradox is similar, essentially adding a fourth box with a gold coin and a silver coin. Its answer is controversial, based on how one assumes the "drawer" was chosen.

In 2009, Adam S. Landsberg proposed the following simpler variant of the 100 prisoners problem which is based on the well-known Monty Hall problem: [13] Behind three closed doors a car, the car keys and a goat are randomly distributed. There are two players: the first player has to find the car, the second player the keys to the car.
