What are Tree Diagrams
A way of showing the possibilities of two or more events
Simple diagram we use to calculate the probabilities of two or more events

Multiplicative Principle for Probability of Independent Events
if two events are independent the probability of both occurring is…
P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)
or P(A ∩ B) = P(A) · P(B) INDEPENDENT EVENTS
two events are independent of each other if an occurrence in one event does not change the probability of an occurrence in the other
if this is not true, then the events are dependent

Example – 10 coloured beads in a bag – 3 Red, 2 Blue, 5 Green. One taken, colour noted, returned to bag, then a second taken. Draw tree diagram for 2 draws.

Multiplicative Principle for Counting
The total number of outcomes is the product of the possible outcomes at each step in the sequence
if a is selected from A, and b selected from Bn (a,b) = n(A) x n(B)
– (this assumes that each outcome has no influence on the next outcome)

Problems
How many possible three letter combinations are there? – you can choose 26 letters for each of the three
positions, so there are 26 x 26 x 26 = 17576
how many possible license plates are there in Ontario (4 L and 3#)?– 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10

Revisit - Sample Spacethe sample space for the last example would be all the ordered pairs in the form (d,c), where d represents the roll of a die and c represents the flip of a coin in which there are 12 possible outcomes
P (even, head)– there are 3 possible outcomes for an even die
and a head – P(odd roll, head) = 3/12 =¼

P(heads | even) – these are independent events, so knowing the outcome
of the second does not change the probability of the first

Conditional Probability for Independent Events
if A and B are independent events, then…
– P(B | A) = P(B)
if this is not true, then the events are dependent

Dependent Events
two or more events are said to be dependent if the occurrence or non-occurrence of one of the events affects the probabilities of occurrence of any of the others.

Exampleif you draw a card, replace it and draw another, what is the probability of two aces?– P(1stA and 2ndA)=4/52 x 4/52 =1/169– independent events
if you draw a card and then draw a second card (no replacement), what is the probability of two aces?– P(1stA and 2ndA)=4/52 x 3/51=1/221– second event depends on first event– the sample space is reduced by the first event
