The video tutorial explains how to find the value of x in a normally distributed random variable where the probability of x being less than a certain value is 25%. It introduces the concept of normal and standard normal distributions, and demonstrates how to use the TI-84 calculator's inverse norm feature to calculate the value of c. The tutorial concludes with the calculation of c, showing that the probability of x being less than approximately 69.6 is 25%.
