Probability and Fractions in Context

The video tutorial introduces probability area models and demonstrates solving probability problems using these models. It covers two main problems: one involving gummy worms and gumdrops, and another involving fish tank color distribution. The tutorial explains how to calculate probabilities using area models and emphasizes the concept of independent events.
