Probability, Problem Solving, and "The Price is Right."

Peer reviewed

Wood, Eric – Mathematics Teacher, 1992

This article discusses the analysis of a decision-making process faced by contestants on the television game show "The Price is Right". The included analyses of the original and related problems concern pattern searching, inductive reasoning, quadratic functions, and graphing. Computer simulation programs in BASIC and tables of…
