The video tutorial explains the concept of dependent events in probability, where the occurrence of one event affects the probability of another. It demonstrates this through examples, such as selecting goldfish from an aquarium and inspecting machine parts, to calculate the probability of consecutive events without replacement. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of adjusting probabilities based on prior outcomes.
