P(X=x)=(beg{array}{c}nxend{array})(p)x(1p)nx 
X is defined as the baby being a boy which follows binomial distribution with sample size 6 and probability of success 0.538. That is, n=6,p=0.538

The probability that at least one of them is a girl, 
P(at least one girl) =1P (all boys) =1P(X=6)  =10.024 =0.976 (answer)
