The best answer would be: It is equal to the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability of getting heads can be calculated by taking the number of times heads occurred (84) out of the total number of flips (150). This would give us 84/150 = 0.56, or 56%, which is the experimental probability of getting heads in this experiment.
The theoretical probability of getting heads in a coin flip is 1/2 or 0.5, which is equivalent to 50%. Since the experimental probability of getting heads is 56%, it is 6% higher than the theoretical probability of 50%.
A coin is flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table:
Heads Tails
84 66
