X be a number of success of getting an odd number.

P(probability\, of\, getting\, odd\, number)=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

\therefore \, \, \, \, q=1-P=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}

X has a binomial distribution.

\therefore \, \, \, \, P(X=x)=^nC_n_-_x.q^{n-x}.p^x

       P(X=x)=^6C_6_-_x.(\frac{1}{2})^{6-x} . (\frac{1}{2})^{x}

       P(X=x)=^6C_6_-_x.(\frac{1}{2})^{6}

      

    P(atmost\, \, 5\, \, \, success) =P(x\leq 5)

                                  =1-P(X> 5) 

                                  =1-P(X= 5)

                                 = 1-^6C_6 .(\frac{1}{2})^6

                                = 1- (\frac{1}{64})

                               = \frac{63}{64}
