Solution

A decision tree is a branched flowchart showing multiple pathways for potential decisions and outcomes. The tree starts with what is called a decision node, which signifies that a decision must be made. From the decision node, a branch is created for each of the alternative choices under consideration. The initial decision might lead to another decision, in which case a new decision node is created and new branches are added to show each alternative pathway for the new decision. The result is a series of decision pathways
