subject

You are a contestant on a game show and have won a shot at the grand prize. Before you are three doors. $1,000,000 in cash has randomly been placed behind one door. Behind the other two doors are the consolation prizes of dishwasher detergent. The game show host asks you to select a door, and you randomly pick one. However, before revealing the prize behind your door, the game show host reveals one of the other doors that contains a consolation prize. At this point, the game show host asks if you would like to stick with your original choice or to switch to the remaining door.

Write a function to simulate the game show problem. Your function should randomly select locations for the prizes, select a door at random chosen by the contestant, and then determine whether the contestant would win or lose by sticking with the original choice or switching to the remaining door. You may wish to create additional functions invoked by this function.

Next, modify your program so that it simulates playing 10,000 games. Count the number of times the contestant wins when switching versus staying. If you are the contestant, what choice should you make to optimize your chances of winning the cash, or does it not matter?

Testing your program:

This program will be much longer than previous assignments. You should develop it incrementally, testing each new part as you go. Use cout statements in your debugging when needed to keep track of program flow and/or the value of variables.

Your program should output the percentage of wins that would happen if you switched and if you stayed. While the exact number may be different due to the randomness, the law of averages will make them very close to a correct solution

Read this excerpt from helen keller’s autobiography, the story of my life. have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? i was like that ship before my education began, only i was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "light! give me light! " was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour. . the morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. the little blind children at the perkins institution had sent it and laura bridgman had dressed it; but i did not know this until afterward. when i had played with it a little while, miss sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." i was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. when i finally succeeded in making the letters correctly i was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. running downstairs to my mother i held up my hand and made the letters for doll. i did not know that i was spelling a word or even that words existed; i was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. in the days that followed i learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. based on this excerpt, which words best describe helen keller?
