The biased measure of a set family is its probability when each ground-set element is independently included with probability $p$. If $a_j$ is the proportion of the $j$th level occupied by the family, then ${\mu }_p(\mathcal{F})={\sum }_j\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{j}\right)a_j{p}^j(1-p{)}^{n-j}$. This translates a combinatorial level bound into a probability inequality for independent Bernoulli random variables.

Suppose a self-dual set family has level proportions $a_j\le j/n$ for $j<n/2$. Subtract the binomial identity $p={\sum }_j\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{j}\right)(j/n)p^j(1-p{)}^{n-j}$ from its biased measure of a set family and pair levels $j,n-j$. The difference isEvery term is nonnegative for $p\ge 1/2$. A self-dual intersecting family has the required level bounds by the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem.

Form the family $\mathcal{F}=\{A\subseteq [n]:{\sum }_{i\in A}{c}_i>1/2\}$. The nonnegative weights make it an up-set. It is an intersecting family, since two disjoint members would have combined weight exceeding one. The no-tie hypothesis makes it a self-dual set family: exactly one of $A,A^c$ belongs.

Let $a_j=|\mathcal{F}\cap (\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{[n]}{j})|/(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{j})$. Self-duality gives $a_{n-j}=1-a_j$. The Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem gives $a_j\le j/n$ for $j<n/2$; at $j=0$ this is immediate. If $n$ is even, $a_{n/2}=1/2$.

The biased measure of a set family is ${\mu }_p(\mathcal{F})={\sum }_j\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{j}\right)a_j{p}^j(1-p{)}^{n-j}$. By independence of the Bernoulli random variables, it equals $\mathbb{P}(Z\ge 1/2)$, since equality is excluded. Subtract $p={\sum }_j\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{j}\right)(j/n)p^j(1-p{)}^{n-j}$ and pair complementary levels. The complementary-layer bound for biased measure givesBoth factors are nonnegative for $p\ge 1/2$. The endpoints $p=1/2,1$ also follow directly, or by continuity. Thus the weighted Bernoulli majority bound is
