The video tutorial explains how to determine the number of times a die must be rolled to achieve a probability greater than 95% of rolling at least one six. It discusses the challenges of calculating probabilities directly and introduces the concept of complementary probability to simplify the problem. The tutorial then guides through solving the inequality to find the minimum number of rolls required, emphasizing careful handling of mathematical operations and logical reasoning.
