Relationship question?
I usually avoid asking these type of questions to the best of my ability, but I figured there's no harm in asking.
My boyfriend is 19, I'm 18. We've been really good friends for the past 2 or 3 years. We decided a couple months ago to try dating. And so far, so good. The only thing I have an issue with is that I'm a virgin, and he's definitely been around the block a couple times with a good handful of girls. When we were friends, it didn't bug me but now that we're dating, it gets to me a little.
Do you think it's normal for this to make me feel a little uneasy? I hate this high school drama boyfriend issues crap. But I just want to know if it's ok to be a tad upset or what you think I should do about it.

Can someone please translate this into plain English for me? I am trying to understand the praise that Hamlet has for Horatio but I can't seem to grasp it.
for thou hast been
As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing,
A man that fortune's buffets and rewards
Hast ta'en with equal thanks: and blest are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled,
That they are not a pipe for fortune's finger
To sound what stop she please. Give me that man
That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him
In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,
As I do thee.

B) 74, .034
C) 74, .000784
D) .37, .034
E) Can't calculate the mean and standard deviation because the sample size is too small in comparison to the population.

C) 4.61
D) -4.61
1. D- Found the mean and standard deviation through the formulas.

3. B-False.
4. A- (Well, B is technically a right answer too because the z score is for both negative and positive) C and D had too high of a probability.

2 AnswersMathematics1 decade ago18, jobless, parents are cutting me off?
Hey! So here is the situation: I am 18 year old high school senior, I am living at home, and I am jobless. About a week ago, my mom informed me that my parents were going to quit paying for things like gas, food, clothes, etc. I am totally fine with that, in fact, I would love to have a job. However, my parents still will not allow me to get a job because, according to them, SCHOOL is my job (I have like a 3.9 GPA overall).
A little hypocrytical on their part considering they want me to pay for my own stuff yet won't allow me to get a job.
I require not much. I could make do with 200 a month (most of that for fuel.)
What I am asking of YOU, fellow YouTube Answerers, is how can I make an income without having a job? I was maybe looking at Associated Content for writing articles because I love to write and I'm actually good at it. Anyone have any experience with that or any other ideas?
Please keep ideas LEGAL. I don't really feel like going to jail for drug dealing or prostitution (sorry, that was a bad joke on my part.)

If it is not a total loss, but the damage is more than $2000, then $1500 will be paid. Nothing will be paid for damage costing $2000 or less and of course nothing is paid out if there is no damage.

I'm an 18 year old girl. I just want a steady boyfreind (yea yea, I know I'm young, but come on we all know how it feels to have someone to love). However, it seems like the only type of guys that I can attract are horny ones that want a "dip and run" even though they are aware that I am a virgin and by no means slutty, nor do I wear revealing clothing. I'm really into music, guitar, hiphop and tap dance, and volunteering, pretty smart, and I love hiking. My closest circle of friends are all guys and they all refer to me as either their little sister or brother. I ask them if I'm just not attractive for a boyfriend but they all claim that I'm hot and a total sweetheart and anyone would be lucky to have me.
Sorry, I'm just kind of ranting now.

2. An experimenter wishes to test whether or not two types of fish food (a standard fish food and a new product) work equally well at producing fish of equal weight after a 2-month feeding program. The experimenter has 2 identical fish tanks (1 & 2) to put fish in and is considering how to assign the 40 tagged fish to the tanks. To properly assign the fish, one step would be to:
A) put all the odd tagged numbered fish in one tank, the even in the other, and give the standard food type to the odd numbered ones
B) obtain pairs of fish whose weights are virtually equal at the start of the experiment and randomly assign one to the group tank 1, the other to tank 2 with the feed assigned at random to the tanks.
C) to proceed as in as in (b), but put the heavier of the pair into tank 2.
D) assign the fish at random to the two tanks and give the standard feed to tank 1.
E) not to proceed as in (b) because using the initial weight in (b) is a non-random process.Use the initial length of the fish instead.
