You toss a coin 59 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads? Write your answer in percent form.
19/25
0.76
76%
24%
The empirical probability of getting heads can be calculated by subtracting the number of tails from the total number of tosses, and then dividing the number of heads by the total number of tosses:
Number of heads = 59 - 12 = 47
Empirical probability of getting heads = 47/59
Converting to percent form:
(47/59) * 100 ≈ 79.66%
So, the empirical probability of getting heads is approximately 79.66%, which can be rounded to 80%.
