DESCRIPTION

Risk models are a normal part of decision making. This presentation suggests that most people are poor at judging probabilities, and that risk and loss aversion are strong behavioral modifiers which affect decisions.

The Monty Hall Problem

Originally proposed by:Steve Selvin in the American Statistician 1975

Named after:Monty Hall, hostLet’s Make a Deal

Page 21: Risky Models

21

The Game

Three doors; one hides a car, the others hide goats

You choose one of the 3 doors The host opens a door you haven’t

chosen to reveal a goat Should you stick with your original

choice – or swap?

A Controversial Game

A newspaper column received several thousand complaints about this solution

Experiments show ~80% think there is no difference between staying or switching

Even after training in probability, ~70% still choose the wrong answer

St Petersburg paradox

Daniel Bernoulli

1700 -1782

Presented the problem and its solution in Commentaries of the Imperial Academy of Science of Saint Petersburg (1738)

The problem was invented by Daniel's cousin Nicolas Bernoulli who first stated it in a letter to Pierre Raymond de Montmort of 9 September 1713

The paradox is a classic problem in probability and decision theory, based on a lottery game

The game

You start with £1A coin is tossed:Heads – your stake is doubledTails – game over

Keep tossing the coin as long it comes up heads
