Answer:

The appropriate answer is "11 crimes".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The number of crimes be "n".

Now,

⇒ [tex]P(solved \ at \ least \ one) = 1-P(solved \ none \ of \ n)[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]1-(0.8)^n>0.9[/tex]

⇒       [tex](0.8)^n<0.1[/tex]

By taking log both sides, we get

⇒ [tex]n>=\frac{log(0.1)}{log(0.8)}[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

⇒ [tex]n>=10.31[/tex]

      [tex]n=11 \ crimes[/tex]
