Please delete this, I made a mistake with the problem and textbook.

Because it ask me to write down the distribution of X=1 and Y=2 and I don't get the correct answer.MostlyHarmless said:Can you describe your intent with the attached tree? That is, how have you chosen your labels on your branches? Why do you know there is something wrong?

A tree diagram problem is a visual representation of all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities in a given situation. It is commonly used in probability to help calculate the likelihood of specific events occurring based on different combinations of outcomes.
To construct a tree diagram, start by identifying the initial event or outcome. Then, branch off from this initial event with all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities. Continue branching off from each subsequent event until all possible outcomes have been accounted for. The final probabilities can then be calculated by multiplying the probabilities along each branch.
A simple tree diagram involves only one initial event and its associated outcomes, while a compound tree diagram involves multiple initial events and their associated outcomes. Compound tree diagrams are often used for more complex probability problems.
Tree diagrams can be used to solve real-world problems by helping to visualize and organize all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities. This can be especially useful in decision-making processes or in predicting the likelihood of a specific event occurring based on various circumstances.
Some common mistakes to avoid when using tree diagrams include not accounting for all possible outcomes, incorrectly calculating probabilities along branches, and not properly labeling or organizing the diagram. It is important to double-check all calculations and make sure the tree diagram accurately reflects the given situation.
