According to a statistical study conducted over several months, it is assumed that the number $X$ of budget padlocks sold per month in the hardware store can be modeled by a random variable that follows a normal distribution with mean $\mu = 750$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 25$.
The store manager wants to know the number $n$ of budget padlocks he must have in stock at the beginning of the month, so that the probability of running out of stock during the month is less than 0.05. The stock is not replenished during the month.
Determine the smallest integer value of $n$ satisfying this condition.
