Theoretical probability predicts that there is a 50% chance of a coin flip landing on heads, while experimental probability is determined by conducting multiple coin flips and calculating the actual ratio of heads outcomes to total flips. Over a large number of flips, the experimental probability should converge to the theoretical probability of 0.5, demonstrating the law of large numbers.
If probability is desired outcometotal 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.
