The histogram below is from a simulation that had 100,000 trials. For each trial, a fair coin was flipped six times. The horizontal x-axis indicates each number of times that the fair coin could land on heads in the six flips, and the height of the columns indicates the number of times the fair coin landed on that number of heads in the six flips. For example, the n=31254 for the x-axis value of 3 indicates that the fair coin landed on heads exactly 3 times in the 6 flips in 31,254 of the 100,000 trials.

Number of heads in six flips of a fair coin in 100,000 simulations

Based on the above simulation data, which of the following calculations indicates the p-value that would occur for a test of the null hypothesis that a coin is fair, if the coin landed on 5 heads in 6 flips?

A. 9391 - 100,000

B. (9391 + 1604) + 100,000

C. (9391 + 1604 + 9298+ 1524) + 100,000

D. (23413 + 31254 +23516) + 100,000
