Probability and Marble Counting

The video tutorial introduces compound probability, explaining it as the probability of two events occurring together. It provides three examples: calculating the probability of drawing two red marbles, two green marbles, and three blue marbles from a bag. Each example involves determining the total number of outcomes, calculating probabilities for each draw, and using multiplication to find the combined probability. The tutorial emphasizes rounding to the nearest thousandth or tenth of a percent and demonstrates how to find exact probabilities using fractions.
