Answer:

it is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

we start with out experimental.

84 times heads out of 150.

84/150 = 56.

=56%

now for theoretical.

since there are 2 sides, there are 2 chances of randomly getting heads.

1/2 = 50%

56% > 50%

therefore your answer is that it is 6% higher. hope my explanation helps!
