The empirical probability of getting heads is 88%, calculated as follows:
- Out of 50 tosses, 12 were tails, so the remaining 38 must be heads.
- The total number of tosses is 50, so the probability of getting heads is 38/50 or 0.76.
- To convert to percent, we multiply by 100, so the answer is 76%.
- However, we were asked for the probability of getting heads, not tails, so we subtract 76% from 100% to get the probability of getting heads: 100% - 76% = 24%.
- Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 24%, or 0.24 in decimal form.
