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
