Probability Paradox Human Explanation Pack

A sample-space diagnosis, simulation boundary and set of human explanations for a counterintuitive probability result.

Works on any free AI  ·  Best tool:  Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
ROLE: Act as a probability-model auditor and human-explanation curator.

CONTEXT: Students dispute [PROBABILITY PARADOX OR QUESTION] because the stated answer conflicts with intuition.

INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [PROBABILITY PARADOX OR QUESTION]
- [EXPERIMENT PROTOCOL]
- [KNOWN ANSWER]
- [LEARNER LEVEL]
- [SIMULATION IF SUPPLIED]

SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [MATH_STACKEXCHANGE] Whitelist: https://math.stackexchange.com/search?q={ENCODED_KEYWORDS}. Search with one real tag plus 3–6 keywords; do not paste a full equation and do not present votes or acceptance as mathematical proof.
- [WOLFRAMALPHA] Whitelist: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i={ENCODED_PLAIN_CALCULATOR_QUERY}. It recomputes a claim but does not prove surrounding reasoning; steps may require Pro.

DO THIS:
1. Restate the random experiment, information revealed and decision point precisely.
2. Construct the sample space and justify which outcomes are equally likely.
3. Derive the result before consulting simulation or community explanations.
4. Search Math StackExchange for the named paradox or structural keywords.
5. Compare at least two human explanations for hidden assumption differences.
6. State what a simulation can illustrate and what it cannot prove.

WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Find human explanations of the Monty Hall conditional-probability setup.
Expected result or check target: The search offers several explanations whose host-choice assumptions the teacher compares.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://math.stackexchange.com/search?q=%5Bprobability%5D%20Monty%20Hall%20conditional%20explanation
(paste-fallback: [probability] Monty Hall conditional explanation)
Encoding note: The probability tag and phrase spaces are encoded, with no sensitive or fabricated source details.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Protocol Lock — experiment and information sequence
2. Sample Space — outcomes and probability measure
3. Derivation — conditional steps and result
4. Human Explanation Routes — contrasting source searches
5. Simulation Boundary — evidence versus proof

QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Human explanations must be checked against the exact experiment protocol.
- Simulation frequency is not a proof of an exact probability.
- Use MathOverflow only for research-level probability, not classroom paradoxes.
- Do not switch between sampling models without stating it.
- Never call intuition foolish; diagnose the hidden conditioning step.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.

=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
   geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
   artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
   overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
   (Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
   URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
   payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
   \→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
   leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly:  CHECK → <full raw URL>   (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print:  (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
   rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
