Miguel Mustang

Fix a positive integer nn . Miguel is going to his local Mustang store, and the dealership offers him 22 choices of motors. The first motor has 2n+12n+1 independent components, while the other motor has 2n−12n-1 independent components. Each of the components are functional with probability 0<p<10 < p < 1 , and both motors need at least half of their components to be functional for the motor itself to be operational. Miguel wants to maximize the probability his Mustang works, so he chooses the motor with 2n+12n+1 components whenever p>pnp > p_n , where pnp_n is some threshold as a function of nn . Find p10p_{10} .

A

p10=2/3p_{10}=2/3

B

p10=1/2p_{10}=1/2

C

p10=10/21p_{10}=10/21

D

p10=11/21p_{10}=11/21
