Thank you for correcting us. The value of 1-0.98^4 is the probability of being infected any time of the whole period when all four contacts occur. The value of 0.98^3*0.02 is the probability of being infected only the last fourth time a healthy person comes into contact with an infected person.
Some would compute it as 1 - 0.98^4 = 0.0776. What would be the difference? My school gives the solution as such.
