Theoretical probability is the expected likelihood of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes, such as a 50% chance for heads in a coin flip; experimental probability, however, is determined by conducting trials and observing outcomes, which may produce varying results that approach the theoretical probability over a large number of flips.
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.
