Problem 5 Suppose that we have designed a randomized algorithm for a problem having "Yes" or "No" answer. The algorithm is such that if the answer is "Yes," it is always correct. If the answer is "No," it is correct with probability at least 0.02. How many times do we need to run this algorithm in order to be sure that the probability of getting an erroneous answer is at most 0.02?
