A standard number cube was rolled multiple times, and the results were recorded in the table above. What can be said about the experimental probability of rolling a four versus the theoretical probability of rolling a four?

They should ideally be the same. However, the difference is that the theoretical probability is what is expected to happen while the experimental probability is what happens in the actual scenario. The computation for both would be the same, and they should ideally be the same, unless other factors in an experiment would confound it.
