Nope. Assume you choose the car (1/3). He will always choose a goat. If you switch, you have a 100% chance of losing. (1/3) * (1/1) = 1/3 chance of losing if y

Nope.
Assume you choose the car (1/3). He will always choose a goat. If you switch, you have a 100% chance of losing. (1/3) * (1/1) = 1/3 chance of losing if you switch.
Assume you choose a goat (2/3). There is a 50% chance that he opens a goat if he chooses randomly. If this happens, there's a 100% chance that you win if you switch. (2/3) * (1/2) * 100% = 1/3 chance that you win if you switch.
The remaining 1/3 chance is voided because we've conditioned the game on him randomly choosing a goat, and not a car. So the probability of winning if you switch is (1/3) / ((1/3) + (1/3)) = (1/2)
exactly 50/50.
In the traditional monty hall, switching gives a 2/3 chance of winning. This is still true in the random variant but only if you're allowed to choose the car door in monty opens that one by chance.
