Answer:

False

Explanation:

Theoretical probability is what is theoretically going to happen, such as the probability of flipping heads is theoretically .5. Experimental probability is based on what has already happened, not what is theoretically going to happen, such as if you flipped heads 10 out of 10 times you flipped the coin, the probability is going to be 1. Since they are different, they are not the same thing, and therefore the statement is false.
