If I'm correct this should just be a binomial distribution:
P(n out of 100 success without switching doors)= (100 choose n) *
P(winning without switching)^n * (1-P(losing without
switching))^(100-n) = (100 choose n) * (1/3)^n *(2/3)^(100-n)

Thus, the probability of having 76 success out of 100 without
switching doors = 2.59697e-18 = 0.000000000000000259697%
