Banach's match problem is a classic problem in probability attributed to Stefan Banach. Feller says that the problem was inspired by a humorous reference to Banach's smoking habit in a speech honouring him by Hugo Steinhaus, but that it was not Banach who set the problem or provided an answer.

dbo:abstract
  • Banach's match problem is a classic problem in probability attributed to Stefan Banach. Feller says that the problem was inspired by a humorous reference to Banach's smoking habit in a speech honouring him by Hugo Steinhaus, but that it was not Banach who set the problem or provided an answer. Suppose a mathematician carries two matchboxes at all times: one in his left pocket and one in his right. Each time he needs a match, he is equally likely to take it from either pocket. Suppose he reaches into his pocket and discovers for the first time that the box picked is empty. If it is assumed that each of the matchboxes originally contained matches, what is the probability that there are exactly matches in the other box? (en)
  • Probabilitate teorian, Banachen pospolo kaxaren ebazkizuna ebazkizun klasiko bat da. Matematikari batek pospolo kaxa bana darama ezker eta eskuineko patriketan. Pospolo bat behar duen bakoitzean, edozein kaxa aukeratzen du probabilitate berdinez. Halako batean, edozein patrikatako kaxa hartu eta hutsik dagoela konturatzen da. Kaxa bakoitzak hasieran N pospolo zituelarik, zenbatekoa da beste kaxan k pospolo geratzeko probabilitatea? (eu)
