If $1,000 is deposited in a certain bank account and remains in the account along with any accumulated interest, the dollar amount of interest, I , earned by the deposit in the first n years is given by the formula \small I = 1,000 \left (\left (1+\frac{r}{100} \right )^{n}-1 \right ) , where r percent is the annual interest rate paid by the bank. Is the annual interest rate paid by the bank greater than 8 percent?
