Let's Make a Deal Demonstration

How it works: In a popular game show, contestants are asked to choose one of three doors. Behind one is a fabulous prize! Behind the others are gag gifts. When you choose a door, the game show host shows you a gag gift behind one of the two doors not chosen. You are given the option of switching to the one remaining door or staying with your original choice. Which is the better strategy: switch or stay? You choose doors by clicking on numbers and your chosen door is highlighted. A gag gift (represented by a donkey) is then revealed. Click on the highlighted door to stay, or click on the other door to switch. Then all the doors are opened. Did you win? The table keeps track of your wins and losses using each strategy.
