Probability Statistics - The Foundations of Machine Learning - Introduction to Uncertainty, Probability Intuition

The video tutorial introduces the concept of probability, emphasizing its practical importance. It explores a real-world problem involving disease testing to illustrate how intuition can be misleading without rigorous calculations. The tutorial uses a coin flip example to explain basic probability concepts and introduces the foundational axioms of probability. It concludes by exploring the probability of outcomes with two coin flips, highlighting the importance of understanding independence and favorable events.
