You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads

1 answer

The empirical probability of getting heads can be calculated by subtracting the number of tails from the total number of tosses and then dividing by the total number of tosses:

Total tosses = 50
Number of tails = 12
Number of heads = Total tosses - Number of tails = 50 - 12 = 38

Empirical probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses = 38/50 = 0.76

Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 0.76 or 76%.
