Answer:

Once the number of possible heads and tail in 12 tosses is [tex]2^{12} =4096[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12!}{\left(7!\right)\left(5!\right)}\\\\\frac{12\cdot \:11\cdot \:10\cdot \:9\cdot \:8}{5!}\\\\\frac{95040}{120}\\\\792[/tex]

So the probability of getting exactly  8  heads in  12  coin tosses is: [tex]\frac{792}{4096}[/tex]
