Experimental:
- Experimental probability is conducting an experiment to find the probability
of an outcome occurring.
- As we conduct an experiment more, the relative frequency gets closer to the
actual probability.

Theoretical:
- Theoretical probability is a way of estimating using symmetry.
- It only applies for outcomes that are equally likely.

Possible outcomes H, T
Probability of H 1/2

Relative frequency:
