Tree Diagrams
- The Counting Principle states that if an experiment can be performed in m ways and a second experiment can be performed in n ways, then both experiments in that order can be performed in mxn ways.
- I will sometimes call this the fundamental counting principle because.
- Assume we toss a coin then roll a die.
- A Tree diagram allows us to explore the sample space or all possible outcomes.
- P(an event happening at least once) = 1- P(event does not happen)
- If an experiment is performed repeatedly on the same items that are removable, it can be done
- with replacement: that means the item selected is returned and can be selected again.
- The number of outcomes do not change.
- without replacement: or it is not returned and the outcomes are reduced by 1.
- Do some problem 667 on.
