A decision tree or decision flow diagram is a very useful tool in that it can provide a clear graphical representation of these risky decision problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decision trees are extremely useful for data analytics and machine learning because they break down complex data into more manageable parts. They’re often used in these fields for prediction analysis, data classification, and regression.

Detailed explanation-4: -Decision trees are useful tools, particularly for situations where financial data and probability of outcomes are relatively reliable. They are used to compare the costs and likely values of decision pathways that a business might take.
