The video tutorial explains the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. It uses examples such as a spinner and a number cube to illustrate how probabilities are calculated in both contexts. Experimental probability is based on actual data collected from experiments, while theoretical probability is based on analyzing a situation without data. The tutorial also covers calculating probabilities with number cubes and multiples of numbers.
