The video tutorial explores four examples involving probability and counting rules, focusing on combinations. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of probability and combinations versus permutations. The examples include calculating the probability of selling two defective bulbs, no defective bulbs, all defective bulbs, and at least one defective bulb from a box of 24 bulbs, four of which are defective. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding when to use combinations, where order does not matter, and provides a shortcut for calculating probabilities using complements.
