Probability Math Question...? Bag A contains 3 white and 2 red balls. Bag B contains 6 white and 3 red balls. One of the two bags will be chosen at random, and then two balls will be drawn from that bag at random without replacement. What is the probability that the two balls drawn will the be the same color?

Are The Lazarus Effect and Dune in the same universe? There are similar aspects between Dune, and the technology in The Lazarus Effect.   Noticeable similarities:   Lasguns - this weapon exists in both of the books, and has similar architecture in both books.   Merman and Ixians - are both technologically sophisticated in similar ways. Rely on mechanical technology as opposed to organics or similar.   Is this merely Herbert sticking to his original style? Tiny white very hard cell bug! Please help to identify! I found these bugs walking on the floor/ wall and on my laptop.  And unfortunately I think they could be in my bed, too, since I bring my laptop to bed sometimes.   I live in a big city in the Netherlands without pets. My house has humidity issues.  I have noticed that the bugs are very tough to exterminate; meaning that when trying to squeeze them it really needs a lot of effort for their size. Their size is about 1 - 2 mm and their color is whitish.    Please note that my lightbulb is having a yellow color.so it makes it look darker than normal. It's more white than looks in the picture          This is a pic of it walking on my screen... cd to previous directory without echo of directory name This  gave me cd - as shorthand to change to my previous directory in Bash. It does have a major problem: it prints the directory it changes to, wasting my screen space, as that directory is then repeated in the prompt on the next line.  I know I can do cd $OLDPWD, also mentioned in that answer, and cd - &gt;/dev/null but that is much more typing.   In the bash man page it says:     ... or if - is the first argument, and the directory change is successful, the absolute path name of the  new  working  directory  is written to the standard output.   How can I make - not to be the first argument? By using any of the cd optional arguments? Any other way to suppress the echo or minimise typing without the need for defining functions/aliases on every machine I work with? When we find the electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor we assume that the electric field from both plates is $${\bf E}=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\hat{n.}$$ The factor of two in the denominator comes from the fact that there is a surface charge density on both sides of the (very thin) plates. This result can be obtained easily for each plate. Therefore when we put them together the net field between the plates is $${\bf E}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}\hat{n}$$ and zero everywhere else. Here, $\sigma$ is the surface charge density on a single side of the plate, or $Q/2A$, since half the charge will be on each side.   But in a real capacitor the plates are conducting, and the surface charge density will change on each plate when the other plate is brought closer to it. That is, in the limit that the two plates get brought closer together, all of the charge of each plate must be on a single side. If we let $d$ denote the distance between the plates, then we must have $$\lim_{d \rightarrow 0}{\bf E}=\frac{2\sigma}{\epsilon_0}\hat{n}$$ which disagrees with the above equation. Where is the mistake in this reasoning?  Or more likely, do our textbook authors commonly assume that we are in this limit, and that this is why the conductor behaves like a perfectly thin charged sheet? Sending a value to JavaScript I have set theme handler for a form in Drupal and this handler has a template file. What is the easiest way to send a value from PHP to JavaScript in that include file? Show that $C[a,b]$ is a complete space under the metric $d(f,g)=\sup_{t\in [a,b]}|f(t)-g(t)|$. How many stickers do I need to complete my FIFA Panini album? I'm playing the , which is an Internet adaption of the classic Panini albums that are usually published for the soccer world cup, European championship, and possibly other tournaments.  The album has placeholders for 424 different stickers. The purpose of the game is to collect all 424. The stickers come in packs of 5, which can be obtained through codes found online (or, in case of the classic printed album, bought at your local newsstand).  I make the following assumptions:   All stickers are published in the same quantity.  One pack of stickers does not contain duplicates.     How can I find out how many packs of stickers I need to acquire in order to be reasonably sure (let's say 90%) that I have all 424 unique stickers? I use Ubuntu 18 and have little experience with Linux commands. I have two files:  file 1:  a,txt1,v1 b,txt2,v2 c,txt3,v1 d,txt4,v2   file2:  a,txt5,v2 b,txt6,v1 c,txt7,v1 d,txt8,v2   I want to print the 1st and 3rd column values where the the 1st column value is identical and the 3rd column value has changed from v1 to v2. So my expected output should be:  a   The second query is for the 3rd column values that has changed from v2 to v1. So my expected outcome:  b How to copy some, but not all files? I'm hoping someone can give me a nudge in the right direction...     Let $F$ be a finite field, and let $f(x)$ be a nonconstant polynomial whose derivative is the zero polynomial.  Prove that $f$ cannot be irreducible over $F$.   I've got that every root of $f$ is a multiple root and that for $F=\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, the exponent of every term of $f$ is a multiple of $p$. See , page 2: the internal logic diagram for the MM74HC138.    The diagram shows logic inverters with bubbles at the input or at the output. Is there an actual difference between them? Find a recurrence relation for the number of $n$-digit binary sequences with no pair of consecutive $1$s.  I know my base case:$$a_1 = 2$$ for either $1$ or $0$. Normally to construct the recurrent relation I would say fill in $n-1$ spaces then add a $1$ or $0$, which is simply:$$a_n = 2\cdot a_{n-1}$$However, I don't believe this is right, because this doesn't take into account that there can't be any consecutive $1$s.  Even when I use the base case of $2$ digits:$$a_2 = 3$$for either $01$, $10$, or $00$, I still get the recurrence relation of:$$a_n = 3\cdot a_{n-2}$$which also does not account for $01$ and $10$ occurring consecutively.   So how would I express this? Suspending with root on USB I have a laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 from a root file system on USB storage. This is not working well, because after wake up from suspend, ext4 will frequently try to write to the root file system before USB is ready.  Here is what I see in the kernel log when this happens, notice how I get a bunch of I/O errors on sda1, and then one second later the USB storage drive is finally detected by the kernel.

At that point I have to reboot into recovery mode and run fsck.ext4 manually from a root shell in order to repair the file system.  Is there some setting I can change such that access to the root device after waking from suspend can be delayed until the USB drive is ready? What are Alternative's "some" and "many" useful for? Is there a simple and clear way to explain the difference between past simple and present perfect? I read (or do I say "have read"?) many rules for when to use the present perfect. I found them complex and hard to understand (or do I say "have found"?). I am finding it hard to apply these rules in real sentences.  Is there a simple and clear way to explain the difference between past simple and present perfect? If there is a simple explanation, please tell it! If there is no simple explanation, please tell why it is so complicated. Maybe if I knew why there is no simple explanation, that would help me understand what work I need to do in order to learn the difference. Let $a,b,c$ real numbers. Prove the inequality $|a-b| \leq |a-c| + |c-b|$. Prove that equality holds if and only if $a \leq c \leq b$ or $b \leq c \leq a$.   I've tried starting with just $a \leq c$ and using field properties to reconstruct the inequality, however I haven't been able to make it work. I also tried making the negatives positive and stripping the inequalities and making something happen but again I don't know if that's a proper rule and it didn't seem to get me anywhere. How can I drive 12v LEDs from my Arduino Nano? Background I am building a scale RC helicopter and ordered a bunch of 3mm LEDs to give it some nice navigation and strobe lights which I plan to drive with an Arduino Nano. Problem is that I goofed and didn't notice that the LEDs are 12v until they arrived.  I know that the Arduino Nano can accept 12V on pin 30, but I think the voltage output on any of the &quot;D&quot; or &quot;A&quot; pins is always 5v (correct??). Question If the voltage output of the Arduino pins is 5v, then how can I drive the 12v LEDs using the Arduino, or is it impossible? If router is off for a few days, do you have an ip address as far as ISP is concerned? I have an ISP which assigns IP addresses dynamically. If I go out and turn my router off I am always assigned a new one once I turn it back on. Does that mean that...  1) my previous IP goes elsewhere when my router is turned off?  2) i dont actually have an IP address if my router is off for a day or more?
