- Learn how to construct and interpret a tree diagram to represent sequential events or decisions
- Calculate conditional probabilities using tree diagrams, considering both dependent and independent events
- Apply tree diagrams to solve problems involving probability of multiple events, such as probability of compound events and conditional probability
Tutoring
Tutoring has always been advertised as one of the many resources offered to students to help improve their grades. While some individuals consider using private tutoring, many colleges offer free tutoring services for their students in an effort to increase success rates in schools. Regardless of the free service, some students are not motivated to use the tutoring services. There are many factors that can hinder students from seeking help from a tutor. For some students, time might be an issue. This includes students who might need to work, help with family, or are simply having difficulty managing their time. Psychological barriers may also play a role in a student’s ability to attend tutoring. These barriers include discomfort in communicating with others, lack of motivation, or feelings of failure.
STEM courses are among the most sought-after subjects for tutoring. Let’s explore how we will use tree diagrams to study the relationship between tutoring and a student’s rate of improvement in math.
