Final answer:

Using the provided statement (1) that the three members sold a total of six raffle tickets yesterday, we can conclude at least one member sold at least two tickets, given the possible distributions of ticket sales among the members.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether at least one of the three members of a team sold a minimum of two raffle tickets yesterday. To answer this, we need to evaluate the information given in two statements.

  1. The three members sold a total of six raffle tickets yesterday.
  2. The remaining part of the statement '(2) n' is incomplete and cannot be assessed.

From statement (1), there are several possible distributions of how the six tickets could have been sold among the three members, such as 2-2-2, 3-2-1, 4-1-1, etc. In each of these distributions, at least one member has sold at least two tickets.

Therefore, based on the information provided in statement (1) alone, we can conclude that yes, at least one member did sell at least two raffle tickets yesterday.
