    This document discusses tree diagrams and how to use them to calculate probabilities of outcomes from sequential events. It provides examples of tree diagrams for coin flips, rolling dice, and the probability of being late to work on consecutive days. The key points are: - A tree diagram shows all possible outcomes from a series of events by branching. - To calculate probabilities, the probabilities of each event are multiplied along each branch. - Examples demonstrate drawing tree diagrams and calculating probabilities for coin flips, rolling dice, and the probability of lateness on consecutive work days.

    Tree Diagrams

    19/11/2014

    Learning Objectives: We are learning to


    Understand a tree diagram and
    How to draw a tree diagram.
    Success Criteria: Accomplish
    worksheets by
    Completing the tree diagrams;
    Calculating probabilities using a
    tree diagram.

    Tree Diagrams

    A tree diagram is a way of finding all the


    possible outcomes from a series of
    events.
    To calculate probabilities using a tree
    diagram, you multiply along the
    branches

    Now I can:

    Fill in boxes on the tree diagram;


    List the sample space;
    Work out probabilities by
    multiplying along branches.

    Next step
    Independently (without prompts)
    To be able to draw tree diagrams
    and calculate probabilities to solve
    problems.
