The video tutorial explains how to find the sample space in a two-step experiment and use it to calculate probabilities. It introduces tree diagrams as a tool for visualizing probabilities, especially when outcomes are not equally likely. The tutorial provides examples of calculating probabilities using both sample spaces and tree diagrams, highlighting the differences in approach when dealing with unequal probabilities.
