Probability Concepts and Problems

The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, explaining it as the chance of an event occurring. It covers how to calculate probability using the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes. The instructor uses practical examples with dice, coins, colored papers, and a roulette wheel to illustrate different probability scenarios, such as rolling a specific number on a die or drawing a colored paper from a bag. The video also explains how to express probability as a fraction or percentage and emphasizes understanding the problem statement to determine what is being asked.
