The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability as a measure of uncertainty in random experiments, comparing axiomatic and classical theories. It then delves into conditional probability, explaining its notation and significance, especially when events are dependent. An example using cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara's performance illustrates how to calculate conditional probability. The tutorial concludes with a mathematical representation of the concept and a brief look at what will be covered next.
