I’m confused. If the host is saying that only one of the other doors hides a goat, then you know that the one you picked hides a goat, so you would switch if you want the prize.
I always think this is wrong!but, there are 3 possibilities:A-prize B- goat C- goatA- goat B- prize C- goatA- goat B-goat C- prizeYou don’t know what you have when you chose A, host says (at least) one of the other doors has a goat….I still don’t see how you end up with 2/3 chance by switching!!!
