It's difficult to think of a real event to which an exact probability can be assigned. We say that flipping a coin yields 'heads' with probability 1/2 but we do not know that definitely. The only way of assigning a probability in the sense of numbers of heads versus total numbers of flips is by experiment. (Be aware though that there are other interpretations of the word probability.) If I were to flip a coin 500 times and obtained 249 heads then the experimental probability of obtaining a head would be 249/500 or 0.498.

Why is experimental probability called experimental probability?
Because it is the process of deriving probability through repeated experiments.
What is probability that is based on data?
It is called 'Experimental Probability'.
When probability is determined by personal experimentation and testing it is called probability.?
It is called empirical or experimental probability.
When probability is not found by considering all possible outcomes but by testing and experimentation it is called probability?
Experimental or empirical probability.
A probability found as a result of an experiment?
Probability determined as part of an experiment is called experimental probability. Probability determined by analysis of all of the possible and expected outcomes is called theoretical probability.
