Ok, so today we are going to play a simple game. The game goes like this:
1. You are presented three doors.
2. You pick a door.
3. Another door is opened and you are given the chance to keep the door you picked or switch and select a new door.
What will you do? Wait what does mathematics tell you to do?
Task one: Tell us what you would do up front. Would you keep your original door or switch and select another door? Tell us why you chose to do what you did. Make sure to support your answer with mathematics!
Task Two: Go to the page below and play the game. Make sure to record your outcomes in the table or organizational chart.
