The theoretical probability that the coin will land on heads is 50% or 325/650. When you actually do an experiment you may not get the exact theoretical probability.

Once you perform an experiment your results are called experimental probability because they are based on a true experiment. The law of large numbers tells us that the larger the sample size, the closer the experimental probability will be to the theoretical probability.
