This probability question from my physics class is confusing me, any explanation really appreciated!
An analogy: a child with blocks and constraints on physical systems. A certain child's room is partitioned into 100 squares. His toy box in the corner is exactly one square in size and contains some number of blocks. When he plays with the toys, he tends to throw them around and evenly scatter them about the room.
a) Assume that there are now three blocks (red, green, and blue). Also assume that all three blocks can fit on one square. How many accessible states are there for this system, if they are all in the toy box, lid is closed, and the lid is locked in the closed position? (All the other constraints imposed in the story still apply.)
b) What is the total number of accessible microstates for this system, if the toy -box lid is opened?
c) If the boy plays for a long time with all the blocks (and randomly leaves them in the toy box or on one of the floor squares), what is the probability of finding the red block in the toy box, the blue box on square #15, and the green block on square #75? Explain how you determined this result.
d) Again, after a long time, what is the probability of finding the red block in the toy box independently of where the blue and green blocks are?
e) How would probability in (d) change if we asked for it after the boy had been playing for only 15 seconds? Explain why.
f) Explain what condition must be satisfied to say that a system is equally likely to be in any of its accessible microstates.

Assume you are the head of the public relations
office of GSIS (Government Service Insurance System) that just gave
its CEO a huge bonus. Outline a plan to be presented to the press
justifying the bonus given to the CEO.
To clarify, GSIS is a social insurance institution that
provides a defined benefit scheme under the law. It insures its
members against the occurrence of certain contingencies in exchange
for their monthly premium contributions.

Please can I have a critical analysis detailed of this book below related to economics ( it should use concepts and techniques developed in microeconomics) . Please, the analysis should be typed (10 to 20 pages) following Turbian, Kate, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations. Thank you

PLZ USE JAVA ECLIPSE AND EXPLAIN
Create a GUI which works as an accumulator:
There is a textfield A which allows user to enter a number
There is also another textfield B with value start with 0.
When a user is done with entering the number in textfield A and press enter, calculate the sum of the number in textfield B and the number user just entered in textfield A, and display the updated number in textfield B.

By using the definition and discussing what is relevant to the situation, interpret each of the following for both the coffee and tea data. Also, compare each for coffee and tea. Be sure to include the relevant information (state the value of or, in the case of the distribution, include the graphs) with each component.

Jake and Lilly Gifford founded J&L Packaging, Inc. (J&LP) in 1995 after graduating from the University of Cincinnati. Jake earned a degree in robotics and mechanical engineering, while Lilly graduated with a degree in computer science. They met at the university while working on an information systems course project and married immediately after graduation. Their privately held firm manufactured cardboard packaging and boxes for computer devices such as personal computers, keyboards, replacement hard drives, servers, and so on. Many of their packages were high-end boxes with glossy finishes and the company’s logo on the box. Last year, J&L Packaging, Inc. sales were $106 million.
J&LP Packaging provided many services with their products, such as box and packaging design engineering and consulting, embossing and foil guidance, barcode advice, cartons that fold and collapse for easy storage, and a variety of colors and box strengths. In 2010, J&LP began to research the sustainability issues regarding boxes in the reverse logistics supply chain.Their research lead to a change in production technologies to accommodate up to 100 percent recycled fiber content and solar panels on the roofs of their two U.S. factories. They also hired an engineer to lead the company’s efforts to become a “Green Cycle”-certified manufacturer.
J&LP recently purchased and installed an ISOWA FALCON state-of-the-art, four-color, high-speed flexo box machine with an extensive zero defects quality control system. This box cutting and fabrication machine is manufactured in Kasugai, Japan, by the ISOWA Corporation (www.isowa.com). There are several videos of this automated machine in operation on YouTube,” for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v5XofTns666Aw.
J&LP’s financial information for last year follows. It is assumed the business operates 300 days per year. One note in J&LP financial statement states that the $4,906,000 of inventory does not include $886,000 in inventory allowances for excess, cancelled orders, and obsolete inventories. The note goes on to say, “Inventory management remains an area of focus as we balance the need to maintain strategic inventory levels to ensure competitive lead times versus the risk of inventory obsolescence because of changing technology and customer requirements. The box and packaging business is a dynamic industry that must quickly accommodate customer requirements, changes in forecasts, and new findings from research and development on product features and options.” The following data (in thousands of dollars $) is provided.
