Option #2: Distribution B
A larger sample size (in this case, 500 for Distribution B) generally provides a better estimate of the population proportion due to reduced sampling error and increased reliability of the results. Smaller sample sizes, like Distribution A with 65, can lead to greater variability and less precision in estimating population parameters.
