I am not able to write bold text. Please help!












6














I am a beginner in LaTeX and I have been using Textstudio as my main LaTeX editor for several weeks. My problem is that i am not able to write any bold characters.



textbf will not work in this case.



I am sure there must be something in my code that is not allowing to write bold text.



Here you have my code 



documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

usepackage{tikz}

usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=2cm, outer=0cm, inner=0cm, left=1.5cm, right=1.5cm]{geometry}

usepackage{mathptmx}

usepackage{amsmath}

usepackage{color}





begin{document}



    tikz[remember picture,overlay] node[opacity=0.9,inner sep=0pt] at (current page.center){includegraphics[width=paperwidth,height=paperheight]{lol.jpg}};

    thispagestyle{empty}

    newpage



    begin{titlepage}



        textnormal{}\\\\

        hrule

        {fontsize{50}{60}selectfont begin{center}

                APARTHEID   end{center}}

        hrule  

        textnormal{}\\\\\     



        begin{center}

                 {LARGE An article on Racism}

        end{center}        





        textnormal{}\\\\\\\\\\\\\ 



        begin{center}

            {Large Ramai Alejandria - 5I}

        end{center}



        thispagestyle{empty}



    end{titlepage}



    newpage



    begin{titlepage}       



        textnormal{}\

        begin{center}

            {fontsize{35}{60}selectfont textbf{Table of Contents}}

        end{center}





    end{titlepage}     





end{document}

Don't use usepackage{mathptmx} together with xelatex. The package is meant for pdflatex only. If you want a times like font use e.g.



usepackage{amsmath}

usepackage{unicode-math}

setmainfont{TeX Gyre Termes}

setmathfont{TeX Gyre Termes Math}

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
