The empirical probability of getting heads can be calculated by dividing the number of times heads occurred by the total number of coin tosses.
Number of heads = 50 total coin tosses - 12 tails = 38 heads
Empirical probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses
Empirical probability of getting heads = 38 / 50 = 0.76
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 0.76 or 76%.
You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads?
