Let the probability of failure P=x

So the probability of success=2x

Hence, x=\frac{1}{3}

P(5 Success)^{6}C_{5}\times (\frac{2}{3})^{5}\times (\frac{1}{3}) = \frac{192}{256}

P(6 Success)^{6}C_{6}\times (\frac{2}{3})^{6} = \frac{64}{256}

P(atleast 5 Success) = P(5 Success) + P(6 Success)

=\frac{256}{729}
