We have $M$ Binomial random variables, where $X_0 \sim $ Bin$(n,p)$ and $X_i \sim $ Bin$(n,1/2)$.
Suppose $p > 1/2$. I'm interested in the probability that $\mathbb{P}(\max \{X_1,\dots,X_M\} \geq X_0)$. Is this tractable?
If not, is it tightly boundable/approximable? If this is a very difficult question, I'd accept a reference providing some insight on the problem as well.
$P( \max \{X_1,...,X_M \} \geq X_0)=P(X_i \geq X_0$ for some i) = $1-P( \text{each }X_i < X_0)$.
Now $P( \text{each }X_i < X_0)=\sum_{k=0}^n P(\text{each }X_i<X_0 \vert X_0=k) \cdot P(X_0 =k)$ =$\sum_{k=0}^n P( \text{each } X_i<k \text{ and } X_0=k)$ = $\sum_{k=1}^n \big[ P(X_1<k) \big]^M \cdot P(X_0=k)$. Note the k=0 term is 0.
