You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads. Write your answer in percent form
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 number of tosses = 50
Number of tails = 12
Number of heads = 50 - 12 = 38
Empirical probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total number of tosses
Empirical probability of getting heads = 38 / 50
Empirical probability of getting heads = 0.76
Converting to percentage form:
0.76 * 100 = 76%
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
