Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( 1 - \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^n > 0.98 \) \( \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^n \( n=3: \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{27} \approx 0.037 \) \( n=4: \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{81} \approx 0.0123 \) Minimum \( n = 4 \)
