A flower shop makes \(75\) bouquets of flowers daily. On average, \(p\%\) of the bouquets have LED lights. Assume that \(X\), the number of bouquets of flowers with LED lights made daily, follows a binomial distribution.

  1. Given that there is a probability of \(0.0288\) that fewer than \(2\) bouquets made in a day have LED lights, write down an equation in terms of \(p\) and hence find \(p\) correct to \(4\) decimal places.[3]

It is now given that \(p=7.5\).

  1. Find the most likely number of bouquets with LED lights made in a day.[2]
  2. \(30\) days are randomly selected. Find the probability that the mean number of bouquets with LED lights made per day is least \(5\).[3]
