Another way to solve the problem is to treat it as a conditional probability problem Conditional probability can be used to solve the Monty hall problem (Selvin 1975b; Morgan et al. 1991; Gillman 1992; Carlton 2005; Grinstead and Snell 2006:137). Consider the mathematically explicit version of the problem given above.
