The video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability of getting two tails when a biased coin is tossed twice. It starts by discussing the concept of independent events and how the probability of two heads is calculated. The tutorial then derives the probability of getting a single head and uses this to find the probability of two tails. The key takeaway is understanding how to apply probability rules to independent events.
