KIS217 Question

Read the following narration carefully and construct a clearly labelled decision tree.

A child under three years of age is not to be charged an admission fee. A person under eighteen is to be charged half the full admission. If a child under twelve is accompanied by an adult, however, then that person is to be charged quarter quarter-full admission. For persons over eighteen, full admission is to be charged except for students who are to be charged half admission and senior citizens (women over 60; men over 65) who are to be charged quarter full admission. A discount of 10% is to apply to all persons subject to full admission who are members of a party of ten or more. Finally, there are no student concessions on the weekend. (25 marks)
