OK here are sum problems that i need so much help in:~ Suppose a on a tv game show there are four doors. The grand prize is behind one of them. One contestant each day is able to guess which door has the prize behind it.a. What is the probability that a contestant will guess the right door on a particular day/b. Are guessing the correct doors today and tomorrow independant events?

the probability can be defined as a 1 in 4, 25% or 25 out of 100 probability that the individual will guess the right door. That said, whether choosing the correct door one day or another is an independent event depends on whether the door the prize is behind remains the same door and the contestant can use process of elimination i.e."I chose that door yesterday and it was wrong, so now I only have 3 to choose from."
