Math Problem Statement
Solution
The tree diagram in the image outlines the combinations of background and text colors for Lisa's greeting card design. Based on the options provided:
- Background colors: Red, Orange, Green
- Text colors: Black, Brown
For each background color, there are two options for text color, resulting in combinations.
Sample Space of All Combinations
The combinations are:
- (Red, Black)
- (Red, Brown)
- (Orange, Black)
- (Orange, Brown)
- (Green, Black)
- (Green, Brown)
This matches the first option:
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
Do you want a breakdown of how to interpret tree diagrams? Here are some follow-up questions to deepen understanding:
- How is the total number of combinations calculated in a tree diagram?
- How would the sample space change if another text color was added?
- What happens if we add another background color option to the diagram?
- How can the tree diagram be used to calculate probabilities for random selection?
- What is the importance of listing the sample space in probability problems?
Tip: Use tree diagrams to visualize all possible outcomes clearly for problems involving multiple options!
