This video provides a simple introduction to probability, starting with the basic idea of counting random events. We will use random coin flips and dice rolls to illustrate these concepts. Interestingly, neither coin flips or dice rolls are actually random, but there is enough uncertainty in their motion that to us humans, they appear random.
