Use the image to answer the question.

A tree diagram with three branches shows 8 sample spaces. The first branch shows m and f. m in branch 1 branches out to m and f and f in branch 1 branches out to m and f. In total, second branch has four nodes m, f, m, f. Each node in second branch branches out to two nodes m and f. So, in total third branch has 8 nodes m, f, m, f, m, f, m, f. The 8 sample spaces are m m m, m m f, m f m, m f f, f m m, f m f, f f m, f f f.
