Part 1: The theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up is **50%**.

Part 2: To find the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up based on Liz's results, use the formula:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Number of Flips}}
\]

In this case, Liz flipped the coin 70 times and got heads 49 times:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{49}{70}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = 0.7
\]

To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:

\[
0.7 \times 100 = 70\%
\]

So, the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up is **70%**.
