Probability and Dice Outcomes

The video tutorial covers a probability assignment focusing on independent events. It demonstrates solving probability problems using a tree diagram and a table. The first example involves flipping a coin and rolling a four-sided die, while the second example uses two six-sided dice. The video explains how to determine sample spaces and calculate probabilities for specific outcomes. It concludes with instructions for students to apply these methods in their assignments.

What is the main goal of the probability assignment discussed in the video?

• To solve probability of dependent events using only a tree diagram
