Probability that the first critic favours the book PE1=55+2=57

Probability that the second critic favours the book PE2=44+3=47

Probability that the third critic favours the book PE3=33+4=37

Majority will be in favour if at least two critics favour the book, i.e., 

=PE1E2E¯3+PE1E¯2E3+PE¯1E2E3+PE1E2E3=PE1PE2PE¯3+PE1PE¯2PE3+PE¯1PE2PE3+PE1PE2PE3=57×47×137+57×147×37+157×47×37+57×47×37=209343
