Exploring Compound Events and Their Outcomes

This video tutorial covers the concept of compound events in probability, explaining how to find the sample space using tree diagrams and tables. It demonstrates examples with sandwiches, dice, and coins, and introduces a quick method to calculate possible outcomes. The video also explains how to calculate the probability of compound events using these methods.
