P(X = x) = 3^x exp(-3)/x!

P(X = 0) = exp(-3) = 0.049787

P(X = 1) = 3exp(-3) = 0.14936

P(X = 2) = 9exp(-3)/2 = 0.22404

P(X = 3) = 27exp(-3)/3! = 0.22404

P(X = 4) = 81exp(-3)/4! = 0.16803

P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

= 0.815257

So, the min. value of n is 4

P(X=0)=0.049787068
P(X=1)=0.149361205
P(X=2)=0.224041808
P(X=3)=0.224041808
P(X=4)=0.168031356

add them up 0.815263245 > 0.8
so, n=4
