Probability and Spinner Simulation

The video tutorial explains a probability simulation problem involving Olivia, a softball player. It demonstrates how to use a spinner to simulate the probability of Olivia getting on base 70% of the time. The tutorial covers calculating percentages, labeling the spinner, and interpreting the results. It concludes with instructions for a follow-up problem.

What is the main focus of the probability simulation problem discussed?
