66. The repeated tosses of a die are Bernoulli trials. Let X denote the number of successes of getting odd numbers in an experiment of 6 trials.

Probability of getting an odd number in a single throw of a die is, p - 3/6 = 1/2

q = 1 - p = 1/2

X has a binomial distribution.

 

P (at most 5 successes) =P (X5)

=1P (X>5)=1P (X=6)=16C6
(12)6=1164=6364
