To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we first need to determine how many times heads were obtained.
Since you tossed a coin 50 times and got 12 tails, the number of heads is:
\[ \text{Number of Heads} = \text{Total Tosses} - \text{Number of Tails} = 50 - 12 = 38 \]
Now, the empirical probability of getting heads is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Empirical Probability of Heads} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Tosses}} = \frac{38}{50} \]
To express this as a percentage:
\[ \text{Empirical Probability of Heads (in percent)} = \left(\frac{38}{50}\right) \times 100 = 76% \]
So, the correct answer is 76%.
