T1B5, B6, and B7 (I forgot the last two days....)

I really like riddles. So I've decided that every day, or maybe not every day but occasionally, I will post a riddle.

Because I did a riddle last time, I will do a riddle today. 

The Monty Hall problem is a really good one. Although it isn't technically a riddle, it's still a puzzle and I still love it. It's based on the old show, Let's Make A Deal (I've never heard of it, and the problem says its old, so I will just assume it is old.)

The host, Monty Hall, offers you a choice between three doors, behind two of which are goats, and behind on is a new car. You can pick a door, and then assuming Monty knows which door has the car, reveals a door in which there is a goat. You  may choose to switch, or pursue your original choice. Would you think to switch?
