The theoretical probability of event X is the proportion of event X out of N trials as N tends to infinity. Thus, if you flip a coin many times, you get closer and closer to 1/2 being H and 1/2 being T.
This differs from experiment because all experiments take place with a finite number of trials.

What is more valid theoretical or experimental probability?
experimental probability
How are experimental probability and theoretical probability related?
As the number of times that the experiment is conducted increases, the experimental probability will near the theoretical probability - unless there is a problem with the theoretical model.
What is experimental probability vs theoretical probability?
Theoretical probability is what should occur (what you think is going to occur) and experimental probability is what really occurs when you conduct an experiment.
Are simulations experimental or theoretical probability?
They are experimental probabilities.
How can theoretical probability and experimental probability be the same?
yes
