To find the empirical probability of getting heads after tossing a coin 50 times and getting 12 tails, we first need to determine how many heads were obtained.
Total tosses = 50
Number of tails = 12
Number of heads = Total tosses - Number of tails = 50 - 12 = 38
Now, we can find the empirical probability of getting heads:
Empirical probability of heads = (Number of heads) / (Total tosses)
= 38 / 50
= 0.76
To convert this into percent form, we multiply by 100:
0.76 * 100 = 76%
Thus, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
