Question
Manami is given a choice: she can have her performance assessed either by a three- man jury or a one-man jury. The three-man jury consists of two members who are both known to be impressed by her singing skills, each having probability 2/3 of giving her a passing vote, plus a third member that flips a coin for each decision (the majority rules). On the other hand, the one-man jury is by himself impressed with Manami and has probability 2/3 of giving her a passing vote. Should Manami choose the three-man jury or the one-man jury? (Hint: there are two scenarios in which Manami passes the three-man jury, first being when the first two members agree, and the second being when they split, but the third member’s coin toss results in giving Manami a pass. What is the probability of either of these two scenarios happening?)
