It depends on the university as some polytechnics masquerading as universities offering a degree in ” media studies ” have an entry standard so low that practically writing your own name correctly would enable you to enroll.
A quick search shows that Cambridge offers a masters in ‘film studies’, this isn’t something that is limited only to ex-polytechnics.
I did my bachelors degree with Open University, which in practice doesn’t have any entry requirements at all. It was still a fairly comprehnsive and challenging course however.
I will bow to your superior knowledge of computer programming rather than trying to enter one myself, as it will probably end up with a pork sandwich being revealed at the door. To clarify, are you saying that after testing this, the end result is a negligible /no benefit from switching the door as Mister Q and I have stated?
Running the simulation with 3 doors staying with the initial door gives ~33% chance of winning, switiching doors gives a ~77% chance of winning. If you run the simulation with 100 doors instead, staying with the initial door gives ~1% chance of winning, switiching doors gives a ~99% chance of winning.
Your computer programme has gone wrong if it says there is a 1% chance of a straight shootout between 2 doors and a 50/50 chance. To clarify:
3 doors, 2 have goats behind , one has a car,contestant chooses one- doesn’t know whats inside and doesn’t open it. The host knows what’s in all 3 doors and chooses one of the other 2 doors the contestant doesn’t open that a goat lies behind . The contestant now is left with two closed doors, one must have a goat , one must have a car. The option is to switch doors and whether it improves statistical probability of choosing the car. It’s cant possibly be a 1 % chance of a car behind one of two doors where we know one has a car.

The entry level to cambridge is a minimum of 3 A *s , whilst academic qualifications aren’t an overall guide to intelligence they can’t be attained by someone without some intellect. The universities offering entry level requirements of Ds etc are the places that aren’t fit for purpose

Read what I wrote again
You have stated ..
If you run the simulation with 100 doors instead, staying with the initial door gives ~1% chance of winning, switiching doors gives a ~99% chance of winning.
That’s mathematically impossible
That’s mathematically impossible
Why do you say that?
When the alternate door is offered, 98 of the 99 goat doors are removed from the selection.
The original choice has 1/100 (1%) chance of being the car, therefore the one remaining door must have a 99/100 (99%) chance of being the car.

Drac you have a good brain , for love of God use it. There aren’t “100 doors” there are 3 doors rendering your analysis of these odds and computer programme unfit for purpose. Even using your example, the summary of the odds is flawed as using your example, one door is removed from 100 meaning the original choice has a 1 chance in 99 doors of being the car which is not 1%. In addition to that you state ” 98 of the goat doors were removed from the 99″ which was not the question but pursuing this line , that means switching doors would not give you a ” 99%” chance of being a car . Re read what I have written and answer sensibly instead of going on about 100 doors.
This reminds me of my sat nav a few years back, I put in southampton and it was guiding me to Gatwick for flights to south korea
I thought you were brighter than this drac, what do you think is the answer to this question out of curiosity ?

TheNorthfolk MafiaI assume that a “Open University means for us a Community College in which the cost is cheaper..these colleges require a well written letter by the potential new student, goals, reasonses..so forth if attend.
But basically I call these types of college refresher courses from High School, as you have to do this in the first Freshman year. History, Math, Science, English. These colleges are usually 2 year plan which then you have to go to a 4 year college to get higher degree.. if start off at a better named college takes 4 years opposed to 6 years Make sense?
3 “A” not sure meaning, but here have to maintain a “C” average or you and started degree in jeopardy.Film schools, drama things of this nature have specialty schools. Applying to them requirements of high honors, (local school) sharing talent prior to entry, acceptance by college on your performance or prior skills. Like Juliard for example…but you still take courses geared toward degree.
Then we have colleges geared in auto mechanics, electricians and such. Just need money to pay to attend.
Bottom line today which as for you and us as well, think,degree is very necessary today. With a degree, more room to advance in company, also more pay. No degree,jobs are getting increasingly difficult for many.
Drac you have a good brain , for love of God use it. There aren’t “100 doors” there are 3 doors rendering your analysis of these odds and computer programme unfit for purpose.
The simulation can be run with any number of doors, I provided the results when there are 3 doors also. Read my response more carefully, lol.

The typical definition of the Monte Hall problem is that all doors except one (excluding the door previously chosen) are opened.
