Why does a rain gauge have a wide opening that funnels into a narrow tube?
◦ Rain drops are too far apart to measure with a narrow opening.
◦ The narrow tube minimizes evaporation and magnifies the amount of rain captured by the wide opening.
◦ The wide opening allows evaporation so it is a more accurate representation of what actually happens on the surface.
◦ The narrow tube takes less space.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
