Tree Diagrams and Conditional Probability

Tree Diagrams and Conditional Probability

• Tree diagrams visually represent a series of events in probability.
• Each branch of the diagram represents a possible outcome.
• Tree diagrams are useful when dealing with conditional probability - the probability of an event happening given that another event has already occurred.
• Conditional probabilities are represented by the probability values assigned to each branch.
• They depict the likelihood of an event happening based on previous outcomes.
• The overall probability of a series of events is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each branch within the path.
• Tree diagrams are a useful tool for visualising and organising the relationships between events in complex probability scenarios.
