To find the empirical probability of getting heads based on your coin toss, you first need to determine how many heads were obtained.

You tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails. Thus, the number of heads can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Number of heads} = \text{Total tosses} - \text{Number of tails} = 50 - 12 = 38 \]

Next, the empirical probability of getting heads is given by the ratio of the number of heads to the total number of tosses:

\[ \text{Empirical probability of heads} = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total tosses}} = \frac{38}{50} \]

To convert this into percentage form, multiply by 100:

\[ \text{Probability in percent} = \left(\frac{38}{50}\right) \times 100 = 76% \]

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