Using a Sample Space to Find Compound Probability

The video tutorial covers the concept of compound probability using two number cubes. It begins with an introduction to the topic and proceeds to Part A, where a sample space is created for rolling the cubes. Part B discusses the number of possible outcomes, which is 36. In Part C, the focus is on identifying outcomes that result in a sum of 8, and Part D calculates the probability of achieving this sum, which is 5 out of 36.
