The video tutorial introduces probability as a branch of mathematics that deals with chance outcomes. It explains key concepts such as experiments, outcomes, sample spaces, and events. Through examples like rolling a die and flipping a coin, the tutorial illustrates how to determine sample spaces and outcomes. It further explores more complex scenarios involving multiple coin tosses and combinations of coin tosses with die rolls, demonstrating how to calculate the sample space for these experiments.
