Detailed Solution

Let X be the random variabe

Getting head is success in tossing a coin 

The number of coins tossed is n=6

The range of the random variable is 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

Let p be the probability of success, and q be the probability of failure

here p=12,q=12

The probability of getting at least 4 heads is PX4

Use binomial distribution, PX=r=nCrprqn-r

Hence, 

Px4=PX=4+PX=5+PX=6 =6C4p2q4+6C5p1q5+6C6q6 =15126+6126+126 =12615+6+1 =2264 =1132
