The video tutorial explains how to work with Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from 1972 to 2000. It covers entering data points into a list, fitting a quadratic polynomial to the data, and predicting the CPI for the year 2010. The tutorial demonstrates using a mathematical approach to analyze and visualize data trends over time.
