The video tutorial demonstrates how to use a custom discrete probability calculator to solve a problem from OpenIntro Statistics. It explains a card game where different cards yield different winnings, and sets up the calculation of expected value and standard deviation. The expected value is calculated to be $4.13, and the video discusses the implications of this result, including how much one should be willing to pay to play the game. The tutorial emphasizes understanding expected value as a long-term average and the importance of considering variability in outcomes.
