Since you have already tossed a normal coin 12 times, and got zero heads, what is the probability that you will have to toss at least 4 more times to get the first face?
In simple word we have to toss atleat 4 times means we not get head in first 3 toss. And the probability of not getting head in first 3 trial = q^3 = 0.5^3 =0.125
