It should be a 16% chance. If she makes 2 out of 5 free throws, that's a 40% chance she'll make a free throw. The probability that she makes two in a row is therefore .4 * .4 = .16, or 16%.

What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3?

The experimental probability of anything cannot be answered without doing it, because that is what experimental probability is - the probability that results from conducting an experiment, a posteri. This is different than theoretical probability, which can be computed a priori. For instance, the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 is 1 in 6, or about 0.1667, but the experimental probability changes every time you run the experiment
