We elaborate on an alternative representation of conditional probability to the usual tree diagram. We term the representation “turtleback diagram” for its resemblance to the pattern on turtle shells.

Tree diagrams are a way of showing combinations of two or more events. Each branch is labelled at the end with its outcome and the probability is written alongside the line. Two events are independent ...

A tree diagram is helpful for working with event intersections and conditional probabilities. A tree consists of nodes and branches representing different stages in an experiment. Tree 1 shows an ...

Two events are independent if the probability of the first event happening has no impact on the probability of the second event happening. For example, the probability of rolling a 6 on a die will not ...

Abstract: Fast method of compound event probability calculation based on binary tree is presented for large-scale systems with two-state components. According to the principle of binary decision ...
