The experimental probability of getting heads can be calculated by dividing the number of times heads appeared by the total number of flips.
Experimental probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total number of flips
= 90 / 150
= 0.6
The theoretical probability of getting heads when flipping a fair coin is 0.5.
Therefore, the experimental probability is equal to the theoretical probability for this data.
The correct answer is: It is equal to the theoretical probability for this data.
