To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we first need to determine the number of heads.
If you tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails, the number of heads can be computed as follows:
\[ \text{Number of heads} = \text{Total tosses} - \text{Number of tails} = 50 - 12 = 38 \]
Now, we can calculate the empirical probability of getting heads:
\[ \text{Empirical Probability of Heads} = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total tosses}} = \frac{38}{50} \]
To convert this into a percentage:
\[ \frac{38}{50} = 0.76 \]
Now, converting to percentage:
\[ 0.76 \times 100 = 76% \]
So, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
