7 On average, \(25 \%\) of the packets of a certain kind of soup contain a voucher. Kim buys one packet of soup each week for 12 weeks. The number of vouchers she obtains is denoted by X .
  1. State two conditions needed for X to be modelled by the distribution \(\mathrm { B } ( 12,0.25 )\). In the rest of this question you should assume that these conditions are satisfied.
  2. Find \(\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { X } \leqslant 6 )\). In order to claim a free gift, 7 vouchers are needed.
  3. Find the probability that Kim will be able to claim a free gift at some time during the 12 weeks.
  4. Find the probability that Kim will be able to claim a free gift in the 12th week but not before.
