Hi, 
P(6 heads in 14 flips)
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 
P = nCx* {{{p^x*q^(n-x)}}} where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. In this case {{{p = .5}}} & q = 1/2 or .5
nCx = {{{n!/(x!(n-x)!)}}}  {{{n = 14}}} and {{{x = 6}}}
P = 14C6(.5)^6(.5)^8 = 3003(.5)^6(.5)^8 = .1833
