Diagrams

Although representing tables of numbers can be very informative, they can be very dull and lack visual impact. A diagram can help by summarizing the key features of the data and representing it in a visual way.

Tree Diagram

Tree diagrams can help you find the possible outcomes of an event and their probabilities. They present series of independent events or conditional probabilities. Each “branch” on the diagram represents an event with its corresponding probability of occurrence.

Venn Diagram

Venn Diagram is a diagram used to measure relationships between two or more different sets. Two or more circles are overlapped with each circle representing one particular set. Parts that are not overlapped describe the set of that particular circle. If a description describes both or multiple sets, it is placed in the overlapped portion of the circles.

State Diagram

State diagrams are graphical diagrams used to describe the behavior of a system. It requires that the system is composed of a finite number of states. Each diagram usually represents objects of a single class and track the different states of its objects through the system.
