Don't you need to study supply in order to make demand information useful? Anyhow: http://bls.gov/ooh/most-new-jobs.htm http://bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm

The sample space in this question contains all distinct ways of choosing two of the five balls, with 5C2 elements. Your event (in which both balls are red) has 3C2 elements, the number of distinct ways of choosing two of the three red balls.

Montana and Oklahoma also prohibit non-compete agreements. (Source)

Thanks for your help. I am going to study physics this summer and try to give it another shot next term, but it's good to have a fallback option. While I'm at it, I have another question: First, I'm not opposed to a 'work to live' mentality (vs. 'live to work') but at this point in my life...

Hi there, I enjoy mathematics, programming, and chemistry. However, I don't enjoy physics at all and I'm not good at it (if it's okay to say that on PhysicsForums haha). I think that makes engineering an unlikely path for me. Degrees in math or computer science at my university require...

I am not really qualified to answer, but I don't see a clear difference.

Classic gatekeeper courses use a fixed bell curve to assign grades. The bottom x% fail.

Yes. Weeder (aka gatekeeper) courses are more about the gradelines than the material. Few schools have a surplus of math majors but many have a surplus of would-be engineers, so "engineering calculus" is used to separate the weak from the strong.
