Romeo and Juliet Meeting Probability

The video tutorial explores a probability problem involving Romeo and Juliet meeting for a date. It reviews basic probability concepts, including sample spaces and probability laws, by setting up both discrete and continuous probability models. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the probability of their meeting within a specific time frame and discusses potential extensions of the problem.
