Monty Hall Problem Explained: Why Switching Doors Wins More Often #2258200 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts the famous Monty Hall problem: a game show contestant picks one of three doors, behind one of which is a prize (e.g., a car), and behind the others goats. After the initial choice, the host-knowing what’s behind each door-opens another door revealing a goat. The image shows two unopened doors marked with question marks and the third door open, revealing a cartoon goat. The paradox lies in the fact that switching to the remaining unopened door increases the win probability from 1/3 to 2/3.
