Solution

There are $\binom{10}{6}+\binom{10}{7}+\binom{10}{8}+\binom{10}{9}+\binom{10}{10}$ ways to satisfy the baby storks, out of a total of $2^{10}$ ways to catch the fish. Using the fact that $\binom{n}{k}=\binom{n}{n-k}$ , we can quickly evaluate the probability as $\frac{210+120+45+10+1}{1024}=\frac{386}{1024}=\boxed{\frac{193}{512}}$ .
