Generalize the above to a monty hall problem where there


Question: a) Consider the following 7-door version of the Monty Hall problem. There are 7 doors, behind one of which there is a car (which you want), and behind the rest of which there are goats (which you don't want). Initially, all possibilities are equally likely for where the car is. You choose a door. Monty Hall then opens 3 goat doors, and orders you the option of switching to any of the remaining 3 doors. Assume that Monty Hall knows which door has the car, will always open 3 goat doors and order the option of switching, and that Monty chooses with equal probabilities from all his choices of which goat doors to open. Should you switch? What is your probability of success if you switch to one of the remaining 3 doors?

(b) Generalize the above to a Monty Hall problem where there are n ≥ 3 doors, of which Monty opens m goat doors, with 1 ≤ m ≤ n - 2.
