The lady probably didnt have any statistical support but who knows maybe she didnt need the money that badly and wanted to have some fun and go for the largest amount possible. Then again, maybe she should not have been up there because she failed to look deeper into any strategies in the game and resulted in her getting a way lower number than if she would have took the $80,000. Thanks to this article and stat class I know what to do if I am in that situation. I liked this article because it shows you a smarter way to look at the game deal or no deal.

My feeling is that it all depends on the goal of the player. Many people feel that any amount is more than they came with so they wil just play through on luck and ignore the statistics in the hopes for walking away with the larger amount. Others will follow the statistics and follow the rule to make sure they walk away with a larger amount because they may have something in mind try wish to purchase. The fact of the matter is.. Most people aren't up there with a calculator figuring out the expected value! Most people are running on bloodpumping, nerves, luck, and pressure from the crowd!

Your point might be better taken if you spent less effort trying to shove it down everyone's throat. Dude, this explanation wasn’t academic at all – just longwinded.

After learning this techinque in Stat I knew where the article was going right from the start. Before it was mentioned in the article I calculated what the expected value was and realized that this lady really was crazy for not accepting the banker's offer of 80,000. Generally the banker offers less than the expected value but in this case he offered significantly more. Also, the fact that she had an 80% chance that the money value in her case was less than that of the banker's offer should have been a good indication to her to take the deal. I suppose under pressure people don't think logically about decisions, and evidently this lady never learned about expected value. Maybe she thought her luck would beat the odds. Either way, the game is exciting its a matter of logic or risk. Like Brandon, this is homework for our AP stat course.

Once you get an offer greater than the mean, you should take it because there is nothing telling you of what could happen in the next offer. You could get the probability of whether or not you get a good or bad suitcase to determine your offer but it is still not certain. The article does have a good point though.

We learned how the game was played and everything your article discussed in class. Upon doing multiple mean calculations it was observed that the banker will generally offer 1 good deal a game with <4 cases. I liked the article.

It's usually Hispanic in origin, and is pronounced "Hay-soos"...to avoid blasphemy. “Jesus” is an actual name, oddly enough.
