To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we first need to determine how many heads were obtained.
Since you tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails, the number of heads is:
\[ 50 - 12 = 38 \text{ heads} \]
The empirical probability of getting heads is calculated by dividing the number of heads by the total number of tosses:
\[ \text{Empirical Probability of Heads} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Tosses}} = \frac{38}{50} \]
To convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
\[ \frac{38}{50} \times 100 = 76% \]
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
