Identify the parameter n in the following binomial distribution scenario. A weighted coin has a 0.441 probability of landing on heads and a 0.559 probability of landing on tails. If you toss the coin 19 times, we want to know the probability of getting heads more than 5 times. (Consider a toss of heads as success in the binomial distribution.)
