MaryLena Bleile, a former ALEC tutor, has written an article demonstrating why the famous probability puzzle, the Monty Hall problem, is not just a game, but has a practical application when it comes to selecting a medication for conditions like ADHD. She used the paradox of choosing doors in a popular game show with changing medications, giving the reasons why a doctor may want to alter a medication. We at the ALEC are proud of our former tutor!
The article provides a fascinating look at probability and statistics and medications. The article, Not just a game: The Monty Hall paradox and medicine, can be found in Significance, Volume 22, Issue 3, May 2025, Pages 24–25, https://doi.org/10.1093/jrssig/qmaf025.
