Find a binomial game limit and a daily-average probability

At a fun-fair stall, the probability of winning a prize in each game is 0.05.

(a) Find the largest number of games in a day if the probability of more than 5 prizes is to be less than 0.1. marks

(b) The stall opens for 70 days, with 60 games each day. Find the probability that the average number of prizes per day is between 2.5 and 3 inclusive. marks
