Euler knows how to do it! Thanks man. But the question's really saying that the first 5 are non_semis, not the first six: since if you have to hand out six to *get* the semi you'd have 5 non-semi's and 1 semi. I got it wrong on the homework because of that >.<

Answer was 66/884 or ~.0747

lol at the guy who thought it was 11/17

Odds of first not semi: 11/17
Odds of second not semi: 10/16
...
Odds of sixth not semi: 6/12

Probability is 11/17*10/16*9/15*8/14*7/13*6/12
=11/7*5/8*3/5*4/7*7/13*1/2
=11/7*1/8*3/1*2/13
=66/728
~=.0907
= 9.07% Chance

@The Mighty Comrade
I'm doing grade 10 math, it's not a nightmare for me. Maybe I'm just good at it because I've done grade 9 math twice lol

@Kanye lol ikr trig. is hard

lol balls
my math teacher fell multiple times
1st fall fell in the trach can
2nd fell on the floor face down knocked out

Lol! We call our Social Studies teacher "The Thing". She has this deeper voice so usually we say she has this "thing".

We call my math teacher balls xD

one lovley thing about homeschool is that other lazy kids post whole test on yahho ansers. its lovley

@zeke

take a look at your startmenu and see if its deactivated

Lol! How much did you pay this girl?! Ill get on skype, for some reason it doesn't start when I log onto my cpu.

i actually like thinking, refusing to think just because its weekend kinda fucks up your brain

thinking is enjoyable, as long as you dont have to do it (like homeworks)
i as example have a lot of fun to work with electrics in my spare time, just because its a fuckload of fun and not one faggot tells me how to do something

XD zeke... Not much can bored me now really i walked home with my GF holding hands...

Is it me or did everyone forget it's Friday?! I don't need to talk about this crap! I still got another 2 days :D

Yea... Want to be a Marine Biologist or a Biologist

Exactly how my years were planned.^

also, if you are planning on not becoming a brainless and fucked up part of the system then i would recommend learning physics, biology, maths and chemistry. if you know how things work, you are able to think for yourself

Hmmm... My dad tried to teach me Calculus during the summer that was my first breakdown in 1 year...

Too all of those who love math, wait till you get to the 10th grade, ITS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE. Just wait and see.... just wait and see....

Lol! See spaz! LoL!

Im surprised. My math class is full of weirdos. I shouldn't have a reason for not concentrating....

Im ashamed... My dad is a mathematician... But i love math class i sit in front of my GF

God dangit, did I really put an exponent sign instead of a multiplication sign?

Sorry: ((5^2*8)-9)*7=?

Hehe, sorry you had to do that Fraggot.

Another reason why I can only keep around a 95 average in math.

((5^2*8)-9)^7=x
((25*8)-9)^7=x
(200-9)^7=x
191^7=x
9273284218074431=x

probability is easy

shit you need for that:
P=p%*G/100
p%=P*100/G
G=P*100/p%

this may vary in your language, im just using the german shorts

Calc = shoot me now.

I like Math class too!

But i have another 12 weeks before I actually start taking it. -_-

Edit: Also, I REALLY hate probability.

Another edit: Also the answer to your problem Zeke is 114.

Very easy problem: ((5^2*8)-9)^7=?

I liked math. It just seems every year my teachers get more complicated. For example:

Subtract 21-20 from 32x3 -12+31

They give us these stupid rules and things that make no sense!

"Am I the only one here who actually likes math class...?"

its ok

"Haha, wait until you guys see grade 10/11 math."
but its so easy....except for trig, which is a bitch just because my teacher sucks.

Am I the only one here who actually likes math class...?

Lol no thanks. It always see, the math teachers a lonely people waiting to ruin my life. Im pretty good in all other subjects though.

Haha, wait until you guys see grade 10/11 math.

LOL! Im in 7th grade too :P

It isn't like it's hard just very annoying. I have missed all classes for that subject and was so confused -_-
