Heidi's older sister needs to take either Chemistry (C), Geometry (G), or Physics (P) this year. She can take the class during any one of eight periods (1 through 8). Is there more than one way to draw a
tree diagram to model this situation? Explain.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice.
A. No. The tree diagram must be drawn with each subject at the top and the periods as the branches. This provides outcomes.
B. Yes. You can make a tree diagram with each subject at the top and the periods as the branches or with the periods at the top and each subject as a branch. Both ways provide the same
number of outcomes,
OC. Yes. You can make a tree diagram with each subject at the top and the periods as the branches or with the periods at the top and each subject as a branch. The first way provides
outcomes, but the second way provides outcomes, so the methods
provide different outcomes.
OD. No. A tree diagram cannot be used to model this situation because this is not a compound event.
