YOUR WELCOME!!! :D
To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we need to calculate the number of times heads occurred out of the 50 tosses.
Given that you tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails, we can subtract the number of tails obtained from the total number of tosses to get the number of heads.
Number of heads = 50 - 12 = 38
Now we can calculate the empirical probability of getting heads by dividing the number of heads by the total number of tosses and then multiplying by 100 to express the answer in percent form.
Empirical probability of getting heads = (Number of heads / Total number of tosses) x 100
= (38 / 50) x 100
= 0.76 x 100
= 76 percent
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76 percent.
To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we need to determine the number of times we got heads out of the 50 tosses. Given that we got 12 tails, we can subtract this from the total number of tosses to find the number of heads.
Number of heads = Total number of tosses - Number of tails
Number of heads = 50 - 12
Number of heads = 38
Now, we can calculate the empirical probability of getting heads by dividing the number of heads by the total number of tosses and multiplying by 100 to express the result in percent form.
Empirical probability of getting heads = (Number of heads / Total number of tosses) * 100
Empirical probability of getting heads = (38 / 50) * 100
Empirical probability of getting heads = 0.76 * 100
Empirical probability of getting heads = 76%
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
Traveler is 100% CORRECT TYSMMM
@traveler 100% correct!
The empirical probability of getting heads is 88%, calculated as follows:
- Out of 50 tosses, 12 were tails, so the remaining 38 must be heads.
- The total number of tosses is 50, so the probability of getting heads is 38/50 or 0.76.
- To convert to percent, we multiply by 100, so the answer is 76%.
- However, we were asked for the probability of getting heads, not tails, so we subtract 76% from 100% to get the probability of getting heads: 100% - 76% = 24%.
- Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 24%, or 0.24 in decimal form.
