The video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability of rolling an even number or the number 3 using a six-sided die. It introduces the concept of mutually exclusive events, where rolling a 3 and an even number cannot occur simultaneously. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate individual probabilities and then add them, considering the events are mutually exclusive. The final probability is simplified to 2/3, and the instructor prefers not to use repeating decimals.
