Probability: Irrational Fears

The video explores the concept of probability, highlighting how it helps us understand the likelihood of events and the irrationality of certain fears. It distinguishes between theoretical and experimental probability, providing examples and real-life applications. Theoretical probability is calculated based on possible outcomes, while experimental probability relies on actual occurrences. The video concludes by illustrating how probability can debunk common fears, showing that many feared events are unlikely to happen.
