Your basketball team has two coaches, Coach Mike and Coach Brian. Coach Mike decides the lineup for 60% of the games, and Coach Brian decides the lineup for 40% of the time. You love playing point guard. You play point guard 55% of the time when Coach Mike makes the lineup, but you only play point guard 35% of the games with Coach Brian. Make a probability tree diagram and then determine the probability that you will play point guard with either coach. Explain how you determined your answer.
