You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails.What is the empirical probability of getting heads?Right your answer in a percent form
The number of heads obtained after tossing the coin 50 times can be calculated as:
Number of heads = Total number of tosses - Number of tails
Number of heads = 50 - 12
Number of heads = 38
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is:
P(heads) = Number of heads / Total number of tosses
P(heads) = 38 / 50
P(heads) = 0.76
Converting this into a percentage:
P(heads) = 0.76 * 100%
P(heads) = 76%
So, the empirical probability of getting heads in this experiment is 76%.
