Probability of exactly 6 hits: %280.147%29%5E6 = 0.00001
Probability of exactly 5 hits: %280.147%29%5E5+%2A+%280.853%29%5E1+%2A+%286%21%2F%285%21%2A1%21%29%29 = 0.00035
Probability of exactly 4 hits: %280.147%29%5E4+%2A+%280.853%29%5E2+%2A+%286%21%2F%284%21%2A2%21%29%29 = 0.00510

Probability of at least 4 hits: 0.00001+%2B+0.00035+%2B+0.00510 = 0.00546
