Theoretical probability is based on the expected outcomes of an event, such as a 50% chance of landing heads in a coin flip, while experimental probability is derived from actual trials, which may vary due to random chance; over a large number of flips, experimental probability should converge to the theoretical probability. Thus, both concepts illustrate the relationship between expected and observed outcomes in probability.
If probability is 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. (2 points)
