No late homework accepted but will delete the least 3 scores
(that is one week of HW for MWF sections and one week of HW
for TTh sections).
Reserve these 3 "Joker" cards for emergencies.
Students who can not be in class October 2-3
due to Roshe Shana have the option to turn in
the homework with their next homework at those days.
The same applies for the Yom Kippur holiday,
which is Thursday, October 13.
Collaborations are welcome however you must turn in your
own copy and list on it the names of your collaborators.
Please write legibly and indicate clearly, where a new problem starts.
Try to keep the problems in order.
Use words to explain your work, if necessary. Show your work.
If unable to finish a problem, indicate where you are
stuck. This will help us to give partial credit.
Please infom about typos, misprints. We state here corrections
to the in class distributed texts as well as to the posted solutions.
Each hint gives you a bonus point. The texts posted here are corrected.

Problem A: Monty Hall Problem:
A contestant plays the following game. He or she is presented with three
doors. Behind one door is a prize and behind the other two doors are goats. We
assume that the contestant prefers the prize to the goat. The contestant picks
a door behind which he or she expects to find the prize. Monty Hall, the game
show host (who knows where the prize is), opens one of the two other unpicked
doors, revealing a goat. The contestant is now given the option of switching
his or her choice to the other closed door.
(a) Should the contestant switch?
(b) What if Monty Hall doesn't know where the prize is but picked a random door
which happened to have a goat behind it? Sol.
Problem B: Two Envelopes Problem. ((* no need to submit a solution to this
problem)
John has two envelopes containing X and 2X dollars respectively. He gives one
envelope to Jack and one to Jill (which envelope is decided by the flip of a
fair coin). Jack opens his envelope and sees Y dollars. He concludes that
Jill's envelope contains 2Y or Y/2 dollars with equal probability (since Jack
has probability 1/2 of getting the envelope with more money). He calculates
that the expected amount of money in Jill's envelope is
E(Jill's envelope) = 1/2(2Y + Y/2) = 5Y/4 > Y.
So Jack expects Jill's envelope to contain more money. At the same time, Jill
performs the same calculation (both are Math21a biochem students) and expects
Jack's envelope to contain more money.
So they agree to swap envelopes, both expecting to get more money. Is there
anything wrong with this argument? Should we expect the total amount of money
in the 2 envelopes to increase after swapping? Is this a way of solving the
world's financial problems?
