This video tutorial by Kirk Weiler from eMathInstruction covers Unit 8, Lesson 2 on compound events in probability. It begins with an introduction to probability and simple events, explaining the difference between simple and compound events. The lesson includes an experiment with flipping two coins to demonstrate compound events and the use of sample space tables and organized lists to track outcomes. The tutorial also explores an experiment involving a coin and a six-sided die, illustrating how to calculate probabilities for compound events. The video concludes with a summary of key concepts and methods for listing equally likely outcomes.

Which outcome was found to be most likely when flipping two coins?

• Two tails

• All outcomes are equally likely

• Two heads

• One head and one tail

Why is getting one head and one tail more likely than two heads or two tails?

• There are more ways it can happen

• It's purely by chance

• Because of the law of averages

• Due to the weight of the coins
