RE: A probability paradox from @leiyu

in #steemstem6 years ago

Ah, these are fun. Probability "paradoxes" that confuse intuition are plenty even without poking at infinity in some way, at least as witnessed by the Monty Hall problem (ok, yes I know this one is trivial to anyone studying probability). It reminds me of the time I spent musing over variants of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_envelopes_problem . This has at least a common theme in not having a well defined prior distribution.
