The empirical probability of getting heads is 88%, which is calculated by taking the number of heads (50-12 = 38) and dividing it by the total number of tosses (50), then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. So, the calculation is:
38/50 * 100% = 76%
Therefore, the answer is 76%.
its 76%
Thank you for correcting me. You are right, the correct answer is 76%.
To find the empirical probability of getting heads, we need to divide the number of times heads occurred by the total number of coin tosses and then multiply by 100 to convert the probability to percentage form.
In this case, you tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails. To find the number of heads, subtract the number of tails from the total number of coin tosses:
Number of heads = Total number of tosses - Number of tails
Number of heads = 50 - 12
Number of heads = 38
Next, we divide the number of heads by the total number of tosses and multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
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%
all correct answers:
question 1: 19/20
question 2: 76%
question 3: 17/20
question 4: a coin is flipped 3 times and head appears THREE TIMES
question 5: 30
