Each morning, coffee is brewed in the school work-room by one of two faculty members, depending on who arrives first at work. Mr. Smith arrives first 30% of the time, and Mr. Jones arrives first 70% of the time. The probability that the coffee is strong when brewed by Mr. Jones is 0.1, while the probability that it is strong when Mr. Smith brews the coffee is 0.3 a.Describe this situation using a tree diagram.
