Definition of a Tree Diagram
What is A Tree Diagram?

In probability, a tree diagram is a visual

representation that shows all possible outcomes of
an event in a structured, branching format. It consists
of nodes (representing events or choices) and
branches (representing probabilities of those events
occurring).

Definition of a Tree Diagram
What is A Tree Diagram?

The probabilities along each branch multiply as you

move through the diagram, helping to calculate the
likelihood of different outcomes. Tree diagrams are
especially useful for solving problems involving
conditional probability, sequences of events, and
independent or dependent probabilities.

What is the purpose of Tree Diagram?

A tree diagram visually represents

hierarchical structures, aiding in decision-
making, probability calculations, linguistics,
and project planning. It simplifies complex
information, enhances understanding, and
supports effective problem-solving across
various fields.

Tree Diagram Problem Example

Ana has a box that contains 1 red, 1 blue,

and 1 green marble. She will randomly pick
one marble, note its color, and then pick
another without replacing the first. How
many possible outcomes are there, and
what is the probability of picking a red
marble first, then a blue one?

Tree Diagram Problem Example

Since we are asked what is the probability

of picking a red marble first, then a blue
one, we can use the Probability formula:

# 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠
𝑃 𝐸 =
# of 𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠

Tree Diagram Problem Example

Since we are asked what is the probability

of picking a red marble first, then a blue
one, we can use the Probability formula:

1 𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑙
𝑃 𝐸 =
3 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠

Tree Diagram Problem Example

Since we are asked what is the probability

of picking a red marble first, then a blue
one, we can use the Probability formula:

P(E) = 33.3% chance of

picking the red ball first.

Progress: 47.04%
Tree Diagram Problem Example

Since we already got the probability of

getting the red ball, lets find the probability
of getting a blue ball after picking the red
ball:
1 𝑏𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑙
𝑃 𝐸 =
2 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
Progress: 52.92%
Tree Diagram Problem Example

Since we already got the probability of

getting the red ball, lets find the probability
of getting a blue ball after picking the red
ball:
P(E) = 50% chance of picking
the blue ball after the red ball.
Progress: 58.8%
Tree Diagram Problem Example

We can conclude that Ana will have a

33.3% chance of getting a red ball
then a 50% that she will get a blue
ball next.

Another Example Problem!

Robin is deciding what to wear for 2 days;

Sunday and Saturday. He has 2 shirts (Red
and Blue) and 2 pants (Jeans and Shorts).
He does not want to repeat the exact same
outfit on both days. How many different
combinations can he choose?

Another Example Problem!

Since we are asked to get the number of

combinations he will choose, we will use
the Fundamental Counting Principle:
“If you have a ways of doing event 1, b
ways of doing event 2, and c ways of event
3, then you can find the total number of
outcomes by multiplying:”
Progress: 82.32%
Event a x Event b x Event C
Another Example Problem!

Since he has 2 Days, 2 Shirts, and 2 Pants,

we will multiply it all to get the number of
combinations:
2x2x2
=8
There will be 8 combinations in total.
