Dartboard Scoring and Probability

The video tutorial explains a probability problem involving a dartboard with 20 equally divided wedges. The task is to determine the probability of scoring more than five points when a dart lands randomly on the board. The solution involves identifying the number of wedges with scores greater than five and calculating the probability based on these outcomes. The tutorial guides through the process of counting the relevant wedges and performing a simple probability calculation, concluding that 15 out of 20 outcomes result in scoring more than five points.
