<<题中所说的“换一个信封显然更好”是以B的条件期望值3.4x跟A的观察值x相比 (而不是以B的期望值跟A的期望值相比) 之下的结论,怎么能用于“一开始”呢!构题者有意无意地在这里把概念“B的条件期望值”偷换成了“B的期望值”, 把“A的观察值”偷换成了“A的期望值”,误导解题者。>>www.ddhw.com www.ddhw.com Let's make the comparison more symmetrical, and avoid the difference between the "observed value" and "expected value", as you put it. www.ddhw.com Suppose you and I play the game, your strategy is always take the envelop you are given, and my stratgy is always taking the other envelop, and the game is repeated again and again... www.ddhw.com Suppose there are boxes labeled with 1,10,100,1000,...., if you open your envelop, and find x bucks in it, you deposit it in the box labeled with x, and I should get either 0.1x bucks or 10x bucks, and I will also deposit it into the same box. www.ddhw.com Now, for an box labeled x, after many many many times of the repeated game, let's calculate the average amount you gain each time you deposit to the box -- this is trivial, it is x. The average amount I gain, as you calculated, tends to 3.4x. www.ddhw.com So, in the end, for this box, when enough number of games are played, I will gain more than you -- can I claim that my strategy beats yours on this box? www.ddhw.com and then, since for every single box, my strategy beats yours, can I claim that my strategy beats yours? www.ddhw.com
