sorry aboutn the capital letters
so many people understood my question wrongly

okay, i sort of get why the second door has a 2/3 chance of being a winner.
now i wonder, why does the first door remain to have a 1/3 chance?
don't do 1-2/3= 1/3

i mean, why is it significant so that it does?

_[g]_[c]_[g]_ 1st attempt - three closed doors - 1/3 chance of getting car, 2/3 chance of getting goat.
_[g]_[c]_[X]_ 2nd attempt - three doors, one goat door revealed (out of the equation) - 1/2 chance of getting goat, 1/2 chance of getting car.
If you DON'T change your choice after a goat door is revealed, you stick with the original probability of 1/3 chance of getting a car. This is because it is a choice that you made when the probability was 1/3. If you DO change it, you make a new choice, where the probability is 1/2, much more likely to be won. Therefore, putting both probabilities into the equation, you can figure that the chances of getting a car, if you change your answer after the "revealing", is 2/3 probability, much higher than if the probability of 1/3 alone.

k i'm not so sure about what ur q is asking... but if your asking about that show where you choose a door, and then the host eliminates one door and you can either switch your door or keep your origional door then i know the answer...
when you chose your origional door you had a 1/3 shot of winning (b/c its out of 3 diff doors.)
now the second door that you can switch to has a 1/2 chance of winning (because its out of 2 doors only).
this logic is a little bit hard to understand because you might think the origional door has a 1/2 shot also (the second time around), but if you watch the show enough, and you take a survey, 2/3 of the time the person should have switched his door, and only 1/3 of the time should he have kept his origional door.
- so while its not a sure thing to switch doors or not, statistics say that there is a better chance of winning if you DO switch doors.

Lets say you pick door number one for example. Which door doesn't matter of course. If the prize is behind door #2 the host shows you door # 3. If the prize is behind door # 3 the host shows you door # 2. You have twice the chance of winning if you switch because you win if the prize is behind door # 2 or # 3! If you stick with your first answer, you only win if it is behind door # 1.

I still don't get it.
Ohh, I think I do. You mean the feeling how when someone plays a game, they have a feeling the other team will win more? Well, I guess that's just how people are... if that's what you mean.

its never been up to chance in my experience or any of my friends experience. Look what you need to do is start going around places like the mall....by yourself and start talking to girls. This way if you screw up, you will never see them again and your friends won't laugh at you. Also, you should be more positive. Thats not a diagnosis or condition on wikipedia...You're not stuck like that. Or at least you don't have to be
