Mr. Andersen discusses the concept of causation and probability, focusing on how multiple causes can lead to multiple effects. He uses a dice game to illustrate the complexity of determining outcomes based on probability. The video also introduces a three-letter Scrabble game to further explore probability and prediction. The use of probability tables is highlighted as a method to understand these relationships, with examples like a Galton board and plant growth. The video aims to enhance understanding of cause and effect through probability and prediction.

What is the first step when investigating cause and effect?

• Identify the effects

• Define the system

• List all possible outcomes

• Calculate probabilities
