A student who is trying to write a paper for a course has a choice of two topics, A and B. If topic A is chosen, the student will order two books through interlibrary loan, whereas if topic B is chosen, the student will order four books. The student believes that a good paper necessitates receiving and using at least half the books ordered for either topic chosen. If the probability that a book ordered through interlibrary loan actually arrives in time is .9 and books arrive independently of one another, which topic should the student choose to maximize the probability of writing a good paper? What if the arrival probability is only .5 instead of .9?

![P(X\geq 2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[P(X=0)+P(X=1)]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[\;^4C_0(0.5)^0(0.5)^4 +\;^4C_0(0.5)^1(0.5)^3]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=1-[0.0625+0.25]\\\Rightarrow P(X\geq 2)=0.6875](/tpl/images/1138/6922/6520a.png)
