The video tutorial covers basic probability concepts, focusing on categorical variables. It uses an example of an HBO survey to explain joint, marginal, and conditional probabilities, as well as the union and independence of events. The tutorial provides a comprehensive understanding of how these probabilities are calculated and interpreted.

What type of variables does the video initially focus on for probability?

• Numerical variables

• Continuous variables

• Categorical variables

• Discrete variables
