You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads?
Write your answer in percent form.
a. 76%
b. 24%
c. 0.76
d. 19/25
The empirical probability of getting heads can be calculated by subtracting the number of tails from the total number of tosses and then dividing by the total number of tosses:
Total tosses = 50
Number of tails = 12
Number of heads = 50 - 12 = 38
Empirical probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses
Empirical probability of getting heads = 38 / 50
Empirical probability of getting heads = 0.76
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 0.76, which is 76% in percent form.
So, the answer is: a. 76%
