  1. Tree diagrams

  2. What are Tree Diagrams • A way of showing the possibilities of two or more events • Simple diagram we use to calculate the probabilities of two or more events

  3. Possible Outcomes A fair coin is spun twice 1st 2nd H HH H T HT H TH T T TT

  4. Attach probabilities 1st 2nd H HH P(H,H)=½x½=¼ ½ H ½ ½ T HT P(H,T)=½x½=¼ H TH ½ P(T,H)=½x½=¼ ½ T ½ T TT P(T,T)=½x½=¼ INDEPENDENT EVENTS – 1st spin has no effect on the 2nd spin

  5. Calculate probabilities 1st 2nd * H HH P(H,H)=½x½=¼ ½ H ½ ½ * T HT P(H,T)=½x½=¼ * H TH ½ P(T,H)=½x½=¼ ½ T ½ T TT P(T,T)=½x½=¼ Probability of at least one Head?

  6. For example – 10 coloured beads in a bag – 3 Red, 2 Blue, 5 Green. One taken, colour noted, returned to bag, then a second taken. 1st 2nd R RR B RB R G RG INDEPENDENT EVENTS R BR BB B B G BG R GR G GB B G GG

  7. All ADD UP to 1.0 Probabilities 1st 2nd R RR P(RR) = 0.3x0.3 = 0.09 0.3 0.2 B RB P(RB) = 0.3x0.2 = 0.06 R 0.3 G 0.5 RG P(RG) = 0.3x0.5 = 0.15 R BR P(BR) = 0.2x0.3 = 0.06 0.3 0.2 0.2 BB P(BB) = 0.2x0.2 = 0.04 B B 0.5 G BG P(BG) = 0.2x0.5 = 0.10 R GR P(GR) = 0.5x0.3 = 0.15 0.3 0.5 G 0.2 GB P(GB) = 0.5x0.2 = 0.10 B G GG P(GG) = 0.5x0.5 = 0.25 0.5
