You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads
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 = Total tosses - Number of tails = 50 - 12 = 38
Empirical probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses = 38/50 = 0.76
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 0.76 or 76%.
To calculate the empirical probability of getting heads, you need to divide the number of heads by the total number of coin tosses.
In this case, you tossed the coin 50 times and got 12 tails. Therefore, the number of heads would be 50 - 12 = 38.
Empirical probability of getting heads = (Number of heads) / (Total number of tosses)
= 38 / 50
= 0.76
So, the empirical probability of getting heads is 0.76 or 76%.
