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

Python. primary u.s. interstate highways are numbered 1-99. odd numbers (like the 5 or 95) go north/south, and evens (like the 10 or 90) go east/west. auxiliary highways are numbered 100-999, and service the primary highway indicated by the rightmost two digits. thus, the 405 services the 5, and the 290 services the 90. given a highway number, indicate whether it is a primary or auxiliary highway. if auxiliary, indicate what primary highway it serves. also indicate if the (primary) highway runs north/south or east/west.
