Exploring Probability and Counting Techniques

A bag contains 3 red balls and 2 blue balls. A ball is drawn, not replaced, and then another ball is drawn. Create a tree diagram to represent all possible outcomes of drawing two balls.

• 3 branches for the first draw, 2 branches for the second draw

• 2 branches for the first draw, 3 branches for the second draw

• 5 branches for the first draw, 4 branches for the second draw

• 2 branches for the first draw, 2 branches for the second draw
