Use the following information to answer questions 9-11.

Yesterday, there was no snow on the ground at 8:00 a.m. when snow began to fall. Snow fell from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at a constant rate of 3/4 inch per hour. Kate built a snowman made of 2 spherical snowballs, with the smaller placed on top of the larger. When she built the snowman, the diameter of the larger snowball was 3 times the diameter of the smaller snowball. Today, the day after she built the snowman, there is a 50% chance of rain. If it rains today, then there is a 60% chance that the snowman will melt. If it does not rain today, then there is a 10% chance the snowman will melt.
