The video introduces the concept of probability, explaining it as the likelihood of an event occurring. It uses examples like colored balls in a box and a numbered spinner to illustrate how probability can be measured using numbers or descriptive words. The video concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to take a quiz to reinforce their understanding.
