- The probability of a boy winning a game is \( \frac{2}{3} \). Let \( n \) denote the least number of times he must play the game so that the probability of winning the game at least once is more than 90%, and \( X \) denotes that number of times he wins the game. Hence \( n \), mean, variance, and standard deviation of the random variable \( X \) are respectively:
(A) 3
(B) \( \frac{2}{3} \)
(C) 2
(D) 0.81
