Hmmm, here is another one:
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?
In other words: What is the probability that if you switch you will win?
Blessings,

You should switch.
With your first pick you have a 1 in 3 (33%) chance of getting the car.
With the second pick you have a 1 in 2 (50%) chance.
