Deal or No Deal: Blog Reflection

In the game “Deal or No Deal” probability plays a large role in helping the contestant decide whether or not to take the money offered to them by the banker. The contestant can use the probability that they will win $1,000,000 to assist them in their decision. For us, our briefcase contained the $1,000,000 prize, so sticking with it until the end was the best option. I was quite confident that we had the winning prize because I chose the briefcase that made us win. Besides probability, I think the general ideals of a person effect how they play this game. For example, some people would rather have some money than none, and would rather not take that chance. Other people follow the “Go Big or Go Home” idea and always shoot for the $1,000,000. I like that idea. Since it costs nothing to go on the show, I say shoot for maximum prize, and if you don’t get it you still didn’t lose anything.
