    While the priors seemed to suggest it could float, the update step showed that was an outlier.

    I’ll show myself the door.

        Hard to answer that since I don’t know which door was picked first.

        Then again, I’m taking 3. Goats are cool.

          In search of a new car, the player chooses a door, say 1. The game host then opens one of the other doors, say 3, to reveal a goat and offers to let the player switch from door 1 to door 2.

            Yeah, duh. You are supposed to switch doors, everybody knows that at this point, but the picture doesn’t show which door was initially picked.

      At least you only have to sink one Bayesian Superyacht to update your priors. To get at population parameters you would need to sink many Frequentist Superyachts
