The flippang juror



Hello folks,

	I have the following interesting probability 
problem which can release your stress in study :)

	There are two jury systems: first, a three-man jury has 
two members each of whom independently has probability P of 
making the correct decision, and a third member who is 
undecided and only makes decision by flipping a coin for each 
decision (majority rules). The second jury has only one 
person, which has probability P of making a correct decision. 
Which jury do you believe to make a fair trial i.e. better 
probability of correct decision?

	Cheers,

	Tuan V Nguyen
