A spinner has three congruent sectors colored orange, green, and purple.
Every spin has has 1/3 chance of landing on any color and there is 1/9 chance of landing on orange and then on purple.
There is 1/3 chance of landing on same color twice in a row.
I need to make a tree diagram verifying these answers and I don't know how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
