Probability Tree Diagrams

Front

What is a probability tree diagram?

Back

A visual representation that shows all possible outcomes of a probability experiment, illustrating how outcomes branch out from each event.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of outcomes in a probability tree diagram?

Back

Multiply the number of outcomes for each event together.

If you roll a die (6 outcomes) and flip a coin (2 outcomes), how many total outcomes are there?

Back

12 outcomes (6 x 2 = 12).

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back
