Question:

Suppose there are three curtains. Behind one curtain there is a nice prize, while behind the other two there are worthless prizes. A contestant selects one curtain at random, and then Monte Hall opens one of the other two curtains to reveal a worthless prize. Hall then expresses the willingness to trade the curtain that the contestant has chosen for the other curtain that has not been opened. Should the contestant switch curtains or stick with the one that she has? To answer the question, determine the probability that she wins the prize if she switches.
