The Monty Hall Problem

The Monty Hall problem is based on the television game show Let’s Make a Deal. While

I have never seen the show, it goes something like this:

Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors: Behind one

door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who

knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He

then says to you, “Do you want to swap and pick door No. 2 OR stay with door No. 1?”

The real question here is ‘do you switch?’ Intuitively, I think it makes no difference. I

have been thinking about this problem for a few days, and here is my logic. The game show host knows where the goats are! Of course, he is going to open a goat door for

you, so you can assume that really you only have a 50%/50% chance of picking the real

prize. No matter what door you choose, the host will eliminate a goat door, leaving one goat door and one prize door, so what difference does it make?

After many lively discussions around the dinner table, someone said: When you first

chose you had a 1/3 chance of picking the prize. Once the goat door opens, you have a

2/3 chance of picking the prize. Alright, I concede that my odds do increase after the

door is opened, but how do you get to 2/3? If I assume that I really only have a 1/3

chance of choosing the goat door because the host will eliminate the other goat door,

making my odds 2/3, does that encourage me to switch? What if I chose the prize in the

first place?

I remember seeing this problem recently, oh yes… one of my favorite movies, 21

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxaydqNATDM According to Ben, based on

variable change, I should switch. After the goat door gets opened my odds of choosing

the prize door increase to 2/3.

Race and Identity or Voice Argumentative Essay Prompt

Zadie Smith suggests that possessing and using multiple voices is a kind of gift, evidence of “freedom” and “empathy” rather than “fraudulence,” while Hua Hsu argues that the affectation of Asian identities by white writers is “perverse.” Given the circumstances that Smith and Hsu respectively cite, these positions are not necessarily irreconcilable, but rather suggest a complex relationship between ideas of race, power, identity, and voice. To what extent are people free to adopt voices and or/identities?

Your response should be five pages in length and reference both articles throughout. You should have a thesis that directly responds to the above question, offering a specific, clearly reasoned answer that does not repeat the wording of the question. Ideally, both authors will be quoted in all, or almost all body paragraphs, in conversation with one another.

The Goal of an Argument and Cogent Reasoning

The Goal of an Argument and Cogent Reasoning The goal of an argument, as we are using the term, is to persuade. Specifically, a good argument persuades someone into adopting a conclusion that is rational on the basis of its premises.

This week, you will recount a time when you were persuaded or had your mind changed by a good argument.
Make sure that you identify a situation in which you were convinced or had your mind changed on the basis of good evidence.
Note: An “argument” for the purposes of this class does not refer to a verbal altercation, but a collected series of statements intended to prove some conclusion.

The connection is the key According to Clinton

The connection is the key According to Clinton Please read Dr. Jean Clinton’s article the power of positive adult-child relationships: Connection is the Key. Briefly explain Clinton’s thesis (what is her key message?) in this article (please remember to cite your sources) and then explain in your own words what you think Clinton means by “Connection is the key”.

Now, using the article to support you thinking, consider your own relationships and respond to the following questions:

According to Clinton, what does it mean to have a connection with another person?

Have you ever had a strong connection with another person?

What was it that made you feel connected to that person?

Have you ever felt a strong connection with a teacher?

What was it that made you feel connected to them?

Have you ever felt a strong connection with a child you have had in placement or in your working life?

What was it that made you feel connected to that child?

Think about your answers. Were there any common themes? What do you think this can teach you about your own ability to form connections with other people? How will you use this knowledge to support your practice?

Consumption and Production Subsidies for Fossil Fuels

Consumption and Production Subsidies for Fossil Fuels Public Economics: PPT should have a few slides and it will be the summary of the paper.

Topic: Consumption and production subsidies for fossil fuels:

What is the global state of consumption and production subsidies for fossil fuels? Are the totals rising or falling? What are the obstacles to eliminating them? Have there been any successes? What has made these successes possible? What proportion of the Paris target for GHG reduction could be accomplished by reducing these subsidies?

Consumption and Production Subsidies for Fossil Fuels Description

Critically review 8-12 academic research papers on a common theme.

Organize the paper with reference to a research question. In other words, what is the problem the researchers are seeking to solve? How have they addressed the question (what methods)? What has been learned so far? What is still unknown? Why is this question important? What suggestions can you make for further research?

Bibliography: After selecting your topic, you should start assembling your bibliography (the papers you are going to discuss).

Reading: You should allocate about one week to read your source papers and make summary notes of each one.

Acceptable bibliographic sources:

Papers published in peer-reviewed academic journals.

Papers from the following institutes are acceptable: C.D. Howe Institute (cdhowe.org),

Institute for Research on Public Policy (irpp.org), Mowat Centre for Policy Innovation (mowatcentre.ca), SPP Research Papers (policyschool.ca).

Students may propose papers or chapters from other sources, which I will assess on a case-by-case basis. All sources must be of academic quality. Some think tanks, web sources, and books meet this standard; however, many do not.

A chapter from a book is equivalent to one research paper.

The majority of your sources for the paper must be written by economists.

A Thesis Statement and Argument the Epic of the Cid

A Thesis Statement and Argument the Epic of the Cid Assignment: Write a paper (1300-1500 words) with a thesis statement and argument backed up with evidence from the primary source you have just finished reading, The Epic of the Cid.

Your paper will be a response to one of the questions provided, with your answer serving as your thesis statement.

Questions:

We typically think about knights in terms of (1) military performance, (2) his relationship with his lord, or (3) his relationship with the women in his life. Focus on one of these three areas. Why is the Cid an ideal knight? That is, what one thing does he do over and over that makes him ideal?

Some have argued that the Cid, Ruy Diaz de Vivar, is a hero of Christian Spain, whose goal is to fight against and win land from Muslims. Why is this argument wrong?

Hint: For either of these prompts, your thesis is started for youóìThe Cid is an ideal knight because or the Cid is not fighting a religious war against Muslims because about you must come up with the why and back it up with evidence from the text.

Citing Evidence: It is important for you to ground your argument in evidence from both primary sources. Incorporate the source material into your own writing by paraphrasing or quoting.

Because your references should be confined to class readings, you may use parenthetical citation, rather than the Chicago style citation historians prefer. That is, cite as follows: (Cid, p. 12). I discourage you from using sources beyond The Cid. Instead, concentrate on writing a good argument.
