10C5(0.44)^5*(0.56)^5=0.2289
fewer than 4
10C3(0.44^3)(0.56^7)=0.1765
10C2(0.44^2)(0.56^8)=0.0843
10C1(0.44^1)(0.56^9)=0.0238
for 0, it is 0.56^10=0.0030
That is 0.2876
===================
4 or more is therefore 0.7124
exactly 4 is 10C4(0.44^4)(0.56^6)=0.2427
exactly 5 is 0.2289 from above
So at least 6 is 0.7124-0.2427-0.2289=0.2408
