Understanding Probability Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, explaining it as the likelihood of an event occurring. It covers key vocabulary such as impossible, possible, and certain, and provides examples to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also discusses comparing probabilities, using examples like coin flips and card draws. It includes practical tests like rolling dice and using a probability spinner to demonstrate how probability works in practice. The video concludes with encouragement to apply these concepts in assignments.
