Customers wait in a queue in a supermarket. A customer can choose to pay with cash or a credit card. Assume that whether or not a customer pays with a credit card is independent of any other customers’ methods of payment. It is known that \(60\%\) of customers choose to pay with a credit card.
There are \(n\) customers waiting in another queue in the same supermarket. The probability that at least one customer pays with cash is greater than \(0.995\).
Find the minimum value of \(n\).
