Take for example, flipping a coin. Theoretically, if I flip it, there is a 50% chance that I flip a head and a a 50% chance that I flip a tail. That would lead us to believe that out of 100 flips, there should theoretically be 50 heads and 50 tails. But if you actually try this out, this may not be the case. What you actually get, say 46 heads and 54 tails, is the experimental probability. Thus, experimental probability differs from theoretical probability by the actual results. Where theoretical probability cannot change, experimental probability can.

How does the experimental result differ from the theoretical in terms of accuracy?
Provided that the correct model is used, the theoretical probability is correct. The experimental probability tends towards the theoretical value as the number of trials increases.Provided that the correct model is used, the theoretical probability is correct.

How theoretical probability is determined?
the experimental
What happens to theoretical and experimental probability when you increase the number of trials?
When you increase the number of trials of an aleatory experiment, the experimental probability that is based on the number of trials will approach the theoretical probability.
Which Die - Coin combinations' experimental probability matches its theoretical probability?
None of the experimental probabilities need match the corresponding theoretical probabilities exactly.
Should the numbers for the experimental probability be close to the theoretical probability?
Not necessarily. There may not even be a way to work out a theoretical probability. Furthermore, there is always a chance, however small, that the experimental probability is way off.
