Course Make an Organized List When you have to find many possibilities, one way to find them all is to make an organized list. A tree diagram is one way to organize information.

Course Make an Organized List Additional Example 1: Using a Tree Diagram Matt wants to take a 3-day weekend trip to visit his grandparents. He can take either Friday or Monday off from work, and he can either fly, drive, take a train, or take a bus. How many options are available to Matt? FridayMondayfly drive take a train take a bus Friday and fly Friday and drive Friday and take a train Friday and take a bus fly drive take a train take a bus Monday and fly Monday and drive Monday and take a train Monday and take a bus

Course Make an Organized List Additional Example 1 Continued Follow each branch on the tree diagram to find all of the possible outcomes. There are 8 different weekend trip combinations available to Matt.
