Compound Events and the Fundamental Counting Principle

The video tutorial covers the use of tree diagrams, tables, and the fundamental counting principle to determine the number of possible outcomes and calculate probabilities of compound events. It includes practical examples such as pizza combinations, coin flips, and dice rolls to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also explains how to use the fundamental counting principle for more complex scenarios, like choosing ice cream combinations.
