C Correct answer
Explanation

Total tosses = 75. Heads = 25. Tails = 75 - 25 = 50. Probability of tail = 50/75 = 2/3.

AI explanation

Using the empirical probability formula, we divide the observed number of favorable occurrences by the total number of trials. The total number of trials is 75, and since heads appeared 25 times, tails appeared 50 times. Thus, the probability of getting a tail is 50 divided by 75, which equals 2/3.
