Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability could be more, the same or less than the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 (which is 1/6).

The larger your sample (i. e., as you go beyond 60 tosses), the closer the two different probabilities are likely to be. (Think: Law of Large Numbers).
