IT-CESENATICO 1992 Problem 4

    A jury of 99 persons should decide whether a verdict is guilty or not. Each juror votes independently with the probability 1/21/2 for each of the two possibilities, and noone is allowed to be abstinent. Find the probability that a fixed juror will be a part of the majority. In the case of a jury of nn persons, find the values of n for which the probability of being a part of the majority is greater than, equal to, and smaller than 1/21/2 , respectively. (For n=2kn = 2k , k+1k +1 votes are needed for a majority.)
