Please help me with creating a decision tree with the following information that I created as an example please. With explanation to help me understand for better learning please.

 

Decision Tree for "Choosing My Daily News"

Root Node: Start

Branch 1 (40% probability): Trusted News Sites

  • Sub-branches: BBC, Reuters, The Guardian, etc. Branch 2 (20% probability): Topic-Specific Sites
  • Sub-branches: MIT Technology Review, The Economist, etc. Branch 3 (15% probability): Algorithmic Recommendations
  • Sub-branches: Google News, Apple News, etc. Branch 4 (10% probability): Social Media Feeds
  • Sub-branches: Twitter, Facebook, etc. Branch 5 (15% probability): Random Stumbles
  • Sub-branches: Unknown websites, friend recommendations, etc.

Decision Points:

  • After browsing headlines:
    • Read article (leads to "Read Articles" state)
    • Watch video (leads to "Watch Videos" state)
    • Switch sources (back to "Browse Headlines" state)
  • After reading an article:
    • Watch related video (leads to "Watch Videos" state)
    • Return to headlines (leads to "Browse Headlines" state)
  • After watching a video:
    • Read related article (leads to "Read Articles" state)
    • Return to headlines (leads to "Browse Headlines" state)

Random Stumbles:

  • Occur at any point with a 15% probability
  • Can lead to any source or topic, regardless of previous choices

Additional Considerations:

  • Time constraints: Allocate more time to trusted sources and topic-specific sites.
  • Current interests: Adjust probabilities to favor relevant topics.
  • Information overload: Take breaks and revisit sources later.
  • Variety: Consciously explore different sources and perspectives.

Visual representation:

  1. Use a decision tree diagramming tool or draw it by hand.
  2. Place the root node (Start) at the top.
  3. Draw branches for each news source with corresponding probabilities.
  4. Add decision points as nodes with arrows indicating possible transitions.
  5. Include "Random Stumbles" as a separate branch with random connections.
  6. Label nodes and branches clearly.
  7. Consider using colors or icons to visualize different source types.
