Probability and Sample Space Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, focusing on understanding sample spaces. It explains how to calculate probabilities using examples like flipping a coin, rolling a die, and drawing cards from a deck. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of identifying all possible outcomes to determine probabilities accurately. It concludes with a brief summary of the key points covered.
