To find the experimental probability of getting heads, we use the formula:
Experimental Probability = Number of successful outcomes / Total number of outcomes
In this case, the number of successful outcomes (getting heads) is 12 and the total number of outcomes is 12 (heads) + 18 (tails) = 30.
So, the experimental probability of getting heads is:
12 / 30 = 0.4
Therefore, the answer is:
0.4
