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 Monty Hall problem is a puzzle in probability that is loosely based on the American game show Let's Make a Deal. The name comes from the show's host Monty Hall. In this puzzle a player is shown three closed doors; behind one is a car, and behind each of the other two is a goat. The player is allowed to open one door, and will win whatever ...

Hall's name is used in a probability puzzle known as the "Monty Hall problem". The name was conceived by statistician Steve Selvin who used the title in describing a probability problem to Scientific American in 1975 based on one of the games on Let's Make a Deal , [ 29 ] [ 30 ] and more popularized when it was presented in a weekly national ...
Monty Hall, the host of the popular 'Let's Make a Deal' game show for almost three decades, passed away on Saturday.
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.
