Think of it like this:

You are given three doors to pick from, one has a winner and two are losers. Your odds are 1/3 that you will pick the correct option. When the host reveal a loser and you don't switch you've still gone with your 1/3 options and basically nullified him showing you a door; it becomes irrelevant and he could have revealed them in any order he wanted.

Switching will only lose when you picked the right door in the first place, which you only had 1/3 odds to do. Switching wins when you picked the wrong door in the first place, which you had 2/3 odds to do.

I don't get how having the donkey in 3 changes the chances of winning? Isn't 1 or 2 just as likely no matter what?




your chances of winning go up as long as you didnt pick the right door in the first place, which is unlikely because thats a 1/3 chance




Right, it involves the host of the game show eliminating one of the choices you didn't make.  Otherwise, without the second opportunity to change your choice after having one of your non-choices eliminated, it wouldn't make any difference.  If one of the three choices was randomly eliminated, without regard to whether it was the prize winning choice or not, the probability of having initially selected the right choice would not be changed.

Yeah, that's the point. You pick a door, and then upon having a losing door revealed you are given the option to either change what door you want or stick with your original pick.

I can just see him up there talking to the game show host. "You're still picking doors? You're a little pick-happy aren't you? Need pick more?"

maybe picked the door because of the stain glassed window with font saying, 'pick me, sure to win.'  wouldn't change the door.  especially, the other door being a glass door showing styrofoam behind it.
