A tree diagram is a diagram that has a structure of branching connecting lines, resembling a tree, with each line representing different processes and relationships. Tree diagrams can be useful in expressing probability as they present all possible outcomes in a straightforward and easy to understand, visual way. Probability and statistics are two branches of mathematics that make use of tree diagrams. These are tools in the fields of general mathematics. These are used in probability, and statistics as they help in calculating the number of possible outcomes of an event or problem. The purpose of tree diagrams is to cite those potential outcomes in an organized way. Other names that are used for these tools are decisions trees and probability trees. By using a single point to start, you can reach to exclusive decisions and even experience mutually exclusive events by following a path down the branches of the tree. It comprises of nodes and when each of these nodes are assigned a value, solving tree diagrams become easy.
