Introducing conditional probability using the Monty Hall problem

Abstract

This study developed a teaching module that incorporated the Monty Hall problem to introduce conditional probability in a college introductory statistics course. This teaching module integrated a guess – experiment – discussion approach with game-based instruction. The researchers piloted this module and made modifications. The work of 20 non-mathematics major undergraduate students was examined for changes in their perceptions about conditional probability through a pre-and-post survey design. The Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy was used for data analysis to show the quality of the student work. Findings suggest that most students’ perceptions were at higher levels after the teaching module.

e‐TOALB: An efficient task offloading in IoT‐fog networks

“…We are using a switch probability method to increase the probability of finding a fog node that can handle the end device data and tasks efficiently. This method provides us with another fog node if the current node is unable to handle requests from the users 31 . Global search is used to find the best possible fog node.…”
