Deal or No Deal

By: Morgan Evans

Wednesday February 15, 2017 in class we watched Professor Sistrunk on his debut on the well known show, Deal or No Deal.  We have all been glued to the television when things got intense during the gut wrenching seconds a guest on a game show has to become $100,000 richer or a sore loser! Like many Americans the 6 season show made you think you were about the have a heart attack but you just couldn't look away! After watching our professor I thought it would be cool to find some things out about the show and to look up some facts about the show!

At the beginning of  Deal or No Deal, the contestant is presented with 26 suitcase. As talked about in class, accepting a “deal” for less than the mean would generally be regarded as a gutless or a weak decision. However, late in the game, if a savvy contestant were to wrangle an amount out of the banker that is greater than the mean, then he or she should definitely take it.



Fun facts include:

1. over the 6 seasons 58,000 cases were open, 
2. over 30 million dollars in total has been won by contestants, 
3. only 5 people have won the jackpot, and 
4. the oldest contestant was 97 years old. 

Hope you enjoyed!
