Using the Tree Diagrams to The Sample Space

A sample space is a set of all the possible outcomes (possible results), for an experiment (event or activity). We can use many ways to find the sample space of an event and using tree diagrams is one of them.

In this post we will learn how to draw a tree diagram of an experiment or an event to find the total number of outcomes or sample space using very simple examples of tossing coins or rolling dice.

Next we will figure out the relationship between the number of attempts (such as rolling, tossing, picking) and the total number of outcomes. Then we will start to find probability of very basic events.
