there are $4\times 2\times 2=16$elements in the sample space. i cannot draw a tree diagram here i don't think.

3. anonymous

either farewell to arm or moby wingspan is two out of the four choices so that probability is also $\frac{1}{2}$

tree diagram: if you are starting with classics write F G T M

actually you should start at Start F G T M J B J B J B J B W D W D W D W D W D W D W D W D and put arrow between them with the probabilities
