Determine the Volume of a Sphere

The video tutorial guides students through solving a standardized math test question about finding the volume of a sphere. It begins by presenting the problem, which involves calculating the volume of a spherical candy with a given radius. The instructor identifies the necessary formula from a reference sheet and demonstrates how to substitute the given values into the formula. The calculation is performed step-by-step, using a calculator to find the volume. Finally, the instructor explains how to choose the closest answer from multiple choice options, emphasizing the importance of approximation in test scenarios.
