Demystifying - Adding across the paths

Drills

Finding every path that satisfies the event, then adding their probabilities.

Author note — to cover

Find every route satisfying an event, exactly one head, different colours, at least one six, then add the route products; cross-reference the complement shortcut for at-least-one (Combined events). Two-stage trees at Foundation, three-stage leaning Higher. Both tiers. Exclude given-that readings of a tree, which are Higher (Combined events). (P8)
