    Let's start with the fraction, 9/30. By the theoretical probability I'm assuming it means a percentage, so to turn a fraction into a percentage we divide the top by the bottom (9:30) and multiply by 100. 30%

    Or 9/21, and that would be 42.86%.

    It depends on if it wants a basic probability on how many times it will land on heads, if it does use 42.86%. If it wants a probability out of 30 it's 30%. The question isn't very clear.
