Probability of Coin Flips

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability of getting at least two tails when flipping three fair coins. It uses a tree diagram to illustrate all possible outcomes and identifies which outcomes meet the condition of having at least two tails. The tutorial concludes by calculating the probability as 1/2, based on the number of favorable outcomes over the total possible outcomes.
