  • Let's Make a Deal – the Monty Hall Problem
    Simulation and Statistical Exploration of Data (Let’s Make a Deal – The Monty Hall Problem), using the new ClassPad300-technology Ludwig Paditz, University of Applied Sciences Dresden (FH), Germany Statement of the Problem The Monty Hall problem involves a classical game show situation and is named after Monty Hall*), the long-time host of the TV game show Let's Make a Deal. There are three doors labeled 1, 2, and 3. A car is behind one of the doors, while goats are behind the other two: The rules are as follows: 1. The player selects a door. 2. The host selects a different door and opens it. 3. The host gives the player the option of switching from the original choice to the remaining closed door. 4. The door finally selected by the player is opened and he either wins or loses. By the help of the ClassPad300 we will simulate N (say N=100) such game show situations to see, if the option of switching the door is a good or a bad option to improve the chance to win. The experiments help our students better to understand the randomness and the statistic methods of every day life. *) Monty Hall was born on August 25, 1924 in Canada. Hall attended the University of Manitoba, graduating in 1945, and served in the Canadian Army during World War II. He immigrated to the United States in 1955, and for the next few years worked in radio and television for the NBC and CBS networks. In 1963, Hall began as emcee for the game show Let's Make a Deal, the role that would make him famous.

  • Puzzling Game of Life” Production Notes -Page 1
    “The Puzzling Game of Life” Production Notes -Page 1 THE PUZZLING GAME OF LIFE Production Notes A four-act skit, using various game show formats to provide the setting for the main character to progress in her spiritual journey. SUMMARY: Suzy Christian finds herself on a journey in “The Game of Life.” Each game show that she participates in is another step in her spiritual journey, where she faces trials and temptations as well as growth and victory.. THEME: The retreat theme was “God Meant It For Good” and the theme verse was Romans 8:28. The visual theme was puzzle pieces, all fitting together. In this skit, we see puzzling things happening to Suzy Christian, and she doesn’t understand why she is experiencing trials. But the skit attempts to show how God is using even those difficult experiences in our life for our good and the good of others. THEME VERSE: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 CHARACTERS: (Note: There are only a few main characters in this skit (marked with asterisk (*). All of the remaining characters are minor characters. One person could easily take the role of one of the minor characters in each act. But this is a great opportunity to assign small roles, appearing in only one act, to people and see how they handle being on stage.) *Rod Sterling Narrator *Guy Smiley - obnoxious game show host, who greatly exaggerates some of his lines (which are capitalized in the script) in a sarcastic manner *Suzy Christian - a woman, wife and mother who has recently become a Christian.
