Answer:

The probability tree is;

                            0.95        (+)

                   (S)

          0.1              0.05        (-)

[  P  ]

          0.9             0.15          (+)                                                        

                  (S_{no})    

                             0.85         (-)        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

10% of the rugby team members use steroids

so Probability of using steroid; P( use steroid ) = 10% = 0.10

Probability of not using steroid; P( no steroid use ) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

Since the test show positive for an athlete who uses steroids, 95% of the time.

Probability of using steroids and testing positive = 95% = 0.95

Probability of using steroids and testing Negative = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Also from the test, 15% of all steroid-free individuals also test positive.

so

Probability of not using steroids and testing positive = 15% = 0.15

Probability of not using steroids and testing negative = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

To set up the probability tree, Let;

(S) represent steroid use

(S_{no}) represent no steroid use

(+) represent test positive

(-) represent test negative

so we have;

                            0.95        (+)

                   (S)

          0.1              0.05        (-)

[  P  ]

          0.9             0.15          (+)                                                        

                  (S_{no})    

                             0.85         (-)

gpm = 29.7 \times  {d}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{np}
this formula is used to determine gpm (gallons per minute) of flow with a known hose diameter (d) and nozzle pressure (np). The constant (29.7) is consistent when figuring flow with in gallons with a know pressure expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).

Scenario example: a firefighter is using a handline to fight fire with an 1 3/4 inch line with a nozzle pressure of 100 psi. How much water is the firefighter flowing when fighting fire?

gpm = 29.7 \times  {1.75}^{2}  \times  \sqrt{100}

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS!! :)

Answer:

The answer is

\frac{1372}{3} \pi \:  {cm}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the radius of sphere by dividing diameter by 2 :

radius = diameter \div 2

Let diameter = 14,

radius = 14 \div 2

radius = 7 \: cm

Next you have to use the volume of sphere formula :

v =  \frac{4}{3}  \times \pi \times  {r}^{3}

Let r = 7,

v =  \frac{4}{3}  \times \pi \times  {7}^{3}

v =  \frac{4}{3}  \times \pi \times 343

v =  \frac{1372}{3} \pi \:  {cm}^{3}
