This problem can be divided into 4 parts

A: P[pick car initially] = 1/3

  P[win car without swapping/you picked car initially] = 1/3

B: P[pick goat initially] = 2/3

  P[win car without swapping/you picked goat initially] = 0

C: P[pick goat initially] = 2/3

  P[win car after swapping/you picked goat initially] = 2/3

D: P[pick car initially] = 1/3

  P[win car after swapping/you picked car initially] = 0

So P[win car without swapping] = 1/3 and P[win car after swapping] = 2/3.
