Probability: Tree Diagrams

What is the formula for calculating probability?

• Probability = (Number of Favorable Outcomes) / (Total Number of Possible Outcomes)

• Probability = (Total Number of Possible Outcomes) / (Number of Favorable Outcomes)

• Probability = (Number of Outcomes) / (Number of Trials)

• Probability = (Number of Successful Trials) / (Total Number of Trials)

What is the probability of randomly picking a lunch with pizza, soda, and ice cream from 18 options?

• 1/18, since there is only one specific combination out of 18 possible choices.

• 1/6, as there are three items to choose from.

• 1/9, because there are two combinations that include pizza.

• 1/36, since the options are multiplied together.

What is a tree diagram?

• A visual representation that shows all possible outcomes of a series of events, branching out like a tree.

• A type of graph used to display data in a linear format.

• A diagram that represents hierarchical relationships in a structured format.

• A chart that illustrates the flow of a process or system.

How do you represent probabilities as fractions?

• Probabilities can be expressed as fractions where the numerator is the number of favorable outcomes and the denominator is the total number of outcomes.

• Probabilities are always represented as whole numbers without fractions.

• Probabilities can only be represented as percentages, not fractions.

• Probabilities are calculated by subtracting the total outcomes from the favorable outcomes.

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

• Add the number of choices at each level of the tree.

• Multiply the number of choices at each level of the tree.

• Count the total branches in the tree diagram.

• Subtract the choices from the total outcomes.
