You toss a coin 50 times and get 12 tails. What is the empirical probability of getting heads?
Write your answer in percent form.
• 19/25
• 76%
• 0.76%
• 24%
The total number of coin tosses is 50, and the number of tails is 12. This means that the number of heads would be 50 - 12 = 38.
The empirical probability of getting heads can be calculated as:
Number of heads / Total number of tosses
= 38 / 50
= 0.76
This can be converted to percent form by multiplying by 100:
0.76 x 100 = 76%
Therefore, the empirical probability of getting heads is 76%.
The correct answer is: 76%
