For the CHS Class of 2010
Dirty Harry
Beloit College creates a “Mindset List” every year for the entering college class. For the college class of 2014 (or, those of you who graduated from Centennial in May) the list has just been posted. Here are a few touchstones of your life:
(from USA Today):

A New Twist on the Placebo Effect
A student brought this to my attention on Monday — as heard on NPR, the placebo effect is apparently getting stronger.
Well if you think about it, there’s a pill for everything these days, right? The article suggests that people, when sick, go to the doctor, get a prescription, take a pill and get better (in general). So maybe people are programmed to think they will get better?
But what does this mean to medical research? What if a new medication significantly decreases, say, blood pressure — when tested against the placebo, will it fail?
Check out the article.
The Monty Hall Problem
Let's Make a Deal!
In class we discussed and debated the logic behind the ubiquitous “Monty Hall Problem“:
“Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, “Do you want to pick door No. 2?” Is it to your advantage to switch your choice? (Parade Magazine, Whitaker 1990)
Here is a simulation and an explanation of the answer.
