Cars and Goats Simulation
A popular television game show, Let’s Make a Deal, from the 1960s and 1970s featured a new car hidden behind one of three doors, selected at random. Behind the other two doors were less appealing prizes (e.g., goats!). When a contestant played the game, he or she was asked to pick one of the three doors. If the contestant picked the correct door, he or she won the car!

Cars and Goats with a Twist!
A twist!
Now consider a fun twist that the game show host adds to this game: Before revealing what’s behind your door, the host will first reveal what’s behind a different door that the host knows to be a goat. Then the host asks whether you (the contestant) prefer to stay with (keep) the door you picked originally or switch (change) to the remaining door.
