Problem with making an estimate when values of many variables are unknown?

Ok, I know that $p$ is greater than $\frac{1}{3}$, so I'm all set. Thanks for the help guys!

$\alpha$ and $\beta$ are also probabilities, but I'm not sure that is too important

I'm sorry, probably an important detail is that A and B are probabilities, so they are bounded above by 1. I'm having trouble understanding how we could replace $\alpha$ in the 3rd to last inequality by $\beta$ (giving us the last inequality)
