Additional Example 1: Using an Organized List to
Find Probability
A pizza parlor offers seven different pizza
toppings: pineapple, mushrooms, Canadian
bacon, onions, pepperoni, beef, and sausage.
What is the probability that a random order for a
two-topping pizza includes pepperoni?
Let p = pineapple, m = mushrooms, c = Canadian
bacon, o = onions, pe = pepperoni, b = beef, and s =
sausage. Because the order of the toppings does not
matter, you can eliminate repeated pairs.

Additional Example 2: Using a Tree Diagram to Find
Probability
Jack, Kate, and Linda line up in random order in
the cafeteria. What is the probability that Kate
randomly lines up between Jack and Linda?
Make a tree diagram showing possible line-up
orders.
Let J = Jack, K = Kate, and L = Linda.
J
K  L = JKL
L  K = JLK
List permutations beginning with Jack.
K
J  L = KJL
L  J = KLJ
List permutations beginning with Kate.
L
J  K = LJK
K  J = LKJ
List permutations beginning with Linda.
