Let ci​≥0 sum to one, with no subset sum equal to 1/2, and let independent Bernoulli random variables Zi​ all have parameter p≥1/2. The subsets of weight greater than 1/2 form an intersecting self-dual set family. The complementary-layer bound for biased measure proves P(∑i​ci​Zi​≥1/2)≥p. Nonnegative weights ensure that disjoint sets cannot both have weight greater than 1/2; the no-tie condition supplies self-duality.
