A coin is weighted so that the probability of tails is 0.58. The coin is tossed 25 times, and the number of times tails is shown is recorded. This procedure 150 times with the number of times tails is shown noted each time. What kind of distribution is simulated?

A. A binomial distribution with n=25 and p=0.58

B. A binomial distribution with n=2 and p=0.58

C. A sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n=25 and p=0.58

D. A sampling distribution of the sample proportion with n=150 and p=0.58

E. There is not enough information to determine the distribution

A. A binomial distribution with n=25 and p=0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

We're looking at the number of tails, not the proportion. The probability of tails is 0.58, and the number of tosses is 25.
