In a laboratory experiment, three mice will be placed in a simple maze that has just one decision point where a mouse can turn either left (L) or right (R). When the first mouse arrives at the decision point, the direction he chooses is recorded. The same is done for the second and the third mice. Draw a tree diagram where the first stage represents the decision made by the first mouse, and the second stage represents the decision made by the second mouse, and so on. Determine all eight possible outcomes of the decisions for the three mice.
