Answer: Coin Toss

Explanation:

If you don't understand what I mean, I'll explain. Theoretical probability is not the same as experimental probability. The former is making an educated guess about the probability, but the latter is finding the probability. A way to remember is their key words: "theory" and "experiment." If you flip a coin and it lands on whichever side whichever amount of times, you are conducting experimental probability. You are actually finding the solution. If you assume that x side will land y amount of times, you are conducting theoretical probability. You are guessing the solution. I hope this helped in any way.
