Monday, August 25
Perform a simulation of the Bertrand's Box paradox in which three chests each contain two drawers, with each drawer containing either a gold or silver bar. In one chest, both drawers contain gold bars; in one chest, both drawers contain silver bars; in one chest, one drawer contains a gold bar and one drawer contains a silver bar. You select one of the drawer at random and it happens to contain a gold bar. The question is: What is the probability that the other drawer in the same chest also contains a gold bar?
