The video tutorial explains the concept of probability, focusing on the probability of two events, A and B, occurring together. It highlights the symmetry in calculating probabilities and introduces Bayes' theorem as a tool for understanding conditional probabilities. The tutorial also addresses common misconceptions, such as assuming independence in correlated events, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing when events are independent or dependent. The use of gamified examples, like dice and coins, is discussed in relation to real-world applications where independence may not hold.
