The video tutorial covers theoretical probability of compound events, building on previous lessons about single events. It explains how to calculate probabilities using dice, tree diagrams, and lists. Examples include finding the probability of rolling a sum of eight with two dice, and determining the probability of selecting specific sandwich combinations. The tutorial also explores security code probabilities and concludes with guided practice.
