What This Question Tests

This problem uses the binomial probability distribution to find the minimum number of trials required to achieve a certain cumulative probability, often necessitating the use of logarithms to solve the resulting inequality.

Concepts Tested

Probability of success/failureBinomial distributionComplementary probabilityLogarithms for solving inequalities

Formulas Used

P(X=k) = nCk p^k (1-p)^(n-k)

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A') = 1 - P(A)
