| Condorcet Jury Theorem: The Condorcet Jury Theorem posits that if each member of a jury has an independent probability of more than 50% of making the correct decision, then increasing the number of jurors will make the collective probability of a correct decision approach certainty. Conversely, if individual accuracy is below 50%, adding more jurors decreases the likelihood of a correct group decision.
