Exploring Conditional Probability and Event Relationships

The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, focusing on conditional probability. It explains how to calculate probabilities using sample space, factorials, and theorems like addition and complement. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, including card and dice scenarios. It also differentiates between independent and dependent events, emphasizing their impact on probability calculations.

How is the probability of an event calculated using the complement theorem?

• Sum of probabilities of all other events
