The video tutorial explains a probability problem involving two siblings, Joe and Faye, who make shirts. Joe is slower but more accurate, while Faye is faster but makes more defects. The problem is to find the probability that no more than two shirts in a box of 30 are defective. The tutorial introduces binomial probability, explains how to set up identical events, and calculates the probability of defects using Joe and Faye's production rates. The solution involves understanding the probability of defects and using binomial distribution to find the answer.
