Probability Tree Exercises

This document presents two probability questions involving drawing balls from a bag and choosing chocolates from a box. For each question, it asks the reader to draw a tree diagram showing all possible outcomes and calculate the probabilities of specific outcomes, such as selecting/eating two items of the same or different colors. The document provides the details of each scenario, including the number and types of items and the selection process.
