The video tutorial explains discrepancies between experimental and theoretical probabilities, emphasizing the law of large numbers. It highlights common mistakes, such as assuming experimental probabilities will equal theoretical ones with enough trials. Chris's experiment is analyzed to show how experimental probabilities approach theoretical values with more trials. The video also discusses how large sample spaces require more trials to achieve accurate experimental probabilities.
