Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

Yes it is. When you had a 33% chance of choosing, you chose #1. The host took away one wrong choice, thereby giving you a greater advantage. If you stay with #1, you still have a 33% chance of getting the right answer, but if you switch doors, you have the benefit of eliminating one wrong choice.
By leaving door #1, you now have a 33% chance of NOT getting it right, and a 66% chance that you WILL get it right.

the 1st time he chooses, there's one million/3 or approximately 33% hazard that he will %. the motor vehicle. no be counted what, this could exchange right into a 50/50 hazard as quickly as the different goat is eradicated. with the aid of this, it does no longer make a distinction if he switches doors or no longer.

No, it is not to your advantage to switch. You should keep the door you chose first.
