Incorrect spelling, explanation: the verb+ing form of the verb choose is written without changing the spelling of the core verb, thus choosing is the spelling that is correct. Chosing is spelled with only one o, which is contrary to the original verb, therefore it is wrong.
Correct spelling, explanation: choosing is a gerund form of the verb choose, which is spelled with the double vowel o. Pronunciation also points to two double o spelling. This is why choosing is the correct form. The past simple form, chose, may be the reason for the misspelling chosing.
Definition of choosing:
1. noun, an act of picking someone or something from other choices

2. verb (gerund/present participle form of choose), to select or prefer something or someone from others

Aww, this was a really wonderful information. Spending some time and actual effort to produce a superb search engine, but what can I say… I’ll have a break now and complete my assignment later as I tend to put things off a whole lot and never manage to get nearly anything done in time.
