Question

If probability is desired outcome
total actual outcomes, then how does theoretical probability relate to experimental probability if there is a fifty-fifty chance of a coin flip landing on heads? Please answer in 1-2 sentences in paragraph form with a human inflection and high school level grammar.

Answer 1

Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen based on the ideal conditions, like knowing a fair coin has a 50% chance of landing on heads or tails. In contrast, experimental probability is based on actual results from flipping the coin multiple times, which may vary from the theoretical probability due to randomness and the number of flips performed.
