Request to Improve the complexity of the given probability question with solution required

[zak100]

Hi,

 

I want to frame a Probability question for computer science students. I have got a simple idea but I want to refine it so that it becomes a more comprehensive real world problem.

 

Let’s suppose there are 3 persons and each one is rewarded a gift but when he sees the gift he has got two options, he can either accept the gift or reject the gift. What is the probability that a person can reject the gift?

Formula= number of successful outcomes/ Total number of equally likely outcomes

              = 1/2

 

At this point this is very simple. How the above can be converted into a more complex problem?

 

Somebody please guide me.
