Decision trees are powerful tools for visualizing and analyzing complex probabilistic scenarios. They help break down multi-step decisions, incorporating probabilities and expected values to guide optimal choices. This ties directly into the Law of Total Probability and Bayes' Theorem.
By mapping out possible outcomes and their likelihoods, decision trees provide a structured approach to problem-solving under uncertainty. They allow us to apply concepts like conditional probability and expected value calculation, making them invaluable for real-world decision-making across various fields.

Bayes' Theorem is a mathematical formula that describes how to update the probability of a hypothesis based on new evidence. It connects prior probabilities with conditional probabilities, allowing for the calculation of posterior probabilities, which can be useful in decision making and inference.
