This video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, explaining it as the chance of an event occurring. It covers the probability scale, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain), and provides examples to illustrate these concepts. The video also delves into theoretical probability, explaining how to calculate it using the number of successful outcomes over the total number of outcomes. Practical examples, such as rolling dice and drawing cards, are used to demonstrate these calculations.
