Exploring Independent and Dependent Events in Probability

This video provides a basic overview of probability, starting with the concept of a fair coin and its equal chances of landing on heads or tails. It explains how probability is calculated by considering equally likely possibilities and introduces the idea of running experiments to understand probability better. The video also covers probability with dice, discussing the likelihood of rolling specific numbers and combinations.

What does a 'fair coin' imply in probability terms?

• It has a unique design.

• It lands on heads more often.

• It has an equal chance of landing on either side.

• It is made of a special material.
