Step-by-step explanation:

Tree diagrams are ways in which we can show the possible combinations of two or more events. It also allows us to see whether these events are dependent or independent (two events are independent if the probability of the first event happening has no impact on the probability of the second event happening). In this example, the possible combinations would be:

Cake cone, flavor 1

Cake cone, flavor 2

Cake cone, flavor 3

Cake cone, flavor 4

Cake cone, flavor 5

Cake cone, flavor 6

Cake cone, flavor 7

Cake cone, flavor 8

Sugar cone, flavor 1

Sugar cone, flavor 2

Sugar cone, flavor 3

Sugar cone, flavor 4

Sugar cone, flavor 5

Sugar cone, flavor 6

Sugar cone, flavor 7

Sugar cone, flavor 8
