When a fair coin is flipped 10 times, the probability distribution of the number of tails, x, is as shown in the table. If Sue flips a coin 10 times and gets 8 tails, does that suggest that the coin is not fair?
 
  x P(x)
   0 0.001
   1 0.010

   6 0.205
   7 0.117
   8 0.044
   9 0.010
   10 0.001
 
  A) Yes B) No
 
  Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, state the reason why.
