Question

If you convince two other commissioners to "vote in bloc" (all agree to vote among yourselves first, and whatever the majority decides is the way all three will vote, guaranteeing that the issue is decided by the bloc), then your vote counts only if these 2 other commissioners split their bloc votes, 1 in favor and 1 against. Again, use the binomial distribution to find the probability that your vote counts.
