This video tutorial covers the basics of probability, focusing on independent events. It explains the difference between independent and dependent events, providing examples such as rolling dice and drawing cards. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the probability of independent events by multiplying the probabilities of individual events. Several examples are provided, including flipping a coin and drawing a card, rolling a die, and drawing face cards from a deck. The lesson concludes with a summary of key points.

What is the probability of an event?

• The number of favorable outcomes

• The likelihood of an event occurring

• The number of possible outcomes

• The ratio of favorable outcomes to possible outcomes
