In this lesson you have learned how to find the probability of compound events by creating a tree diagram.
Sarah tosses 3 coins, one after the other. What is the probability of tossing at least two tails?
Fair or Unfair? Here is a game of chance for two players using two dice of different colors. Each of the two players rolls a die, and the winner is determined by the sum of the faces: Player A wins when the sum is 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, or 12. Player B wins when the sum is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. If this game is played many times, which player do you think will win more often, why? Make a table representing all the possible outcomes.
Students come up with their own probability situation that would be best solved by creating a tree diagram. Then create the tree diagram, listing all possible outcomes.
A coin will be tossed three times one after the other. What is the probability that the result will have two heads and one tail in any order? Show all possible arrangements of the letters in the word TAME using a tree diagram. If each of the letters is on a tile and drawn at random, what is the probability that you will draw the letters TAME in that order?
