Three students accidentally leave copies of the textbook in their classroom after class. At the beginning of the next lecture, the professor distributes the three books in a completely random fashion to each of the three students (1, 2, and 3) who left their books. One possible outcome is that 1 receives 2’s book, 2 receives 1’s book, 3 receives his or her own book. This outcome can be abbreviated as (2, 1, 3).
a. List all other possible outcomes.
b. Let Y denote the number of students who receive their own book. Determine the PMF of Y.

Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below:
| Activity Cost Pool | Activity Measure |
| Caring for lawn | Square feet of lawn |
| Caring for garden beds–low maintenance | Square feet of low maintenance beds |
| Caring for garden beds–high maintenance | Square feet of high maintenance beds |
| Travel to jobs | Miles |
| Customer billing and service | Number of customers |
The company already has completed its first stage allocations of costs and has summarized its annual costs and activity as follows:
| Activity Cost Pool | Estimated Overhead Cost |
Expected Activity | ||
| Caring for lawn | $ | 81,800 | 180,000 | square feet of lawn |
| Caring for garden beds–low maintenance | $ | 34,400 | 28,000 | square feet of low maintenance beds |
| Caring for garden beds–high maintenance | $ | 62,920 | 22,000 | square feet of high maintenance beds |
| Travel to jobs | $ | 3,600 | 19,000 | miles |
| Customer billing and service | $ | 7,500 | 26 | customers |
Required:
Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

We all know that wavefunction collapse when it is observed. Uncertainty principle states that ?x?p??2. When wavefunction collapse, doesn't ?x become 0?, as we will know the location of the particle. Or does standard deviation just become smaller?
After collapse occurs, what happens to the particle? Does the particle resurrect into a wavefunction form?
What can be an observer that triggers wavefunction collapse? (electron wavefunction does not collapse when meeting with electrons; but some macroscopic objects seem to become observers....)
What happens to the energy of a particle/wave packet after the collapse?

Write a program that calculates and prints the bill for a cellular telephone company. The company offers two types of services: regular and premium. Its rates vary depending on the type of service. The rates are computed as follows:
Regular service: $10.00 plus the first 50 minutes are free. Charges for over 50 minutes are $0.20 per minute.
Premium Service: $25.00 plus
in C++ (Basic)
Your program should output the type of service, number of minutes the telephone service was used, and the amount due from the user.
For the premium service, the customer may be using the service during the day and night. Therefore, to calculate the bill, you must ask the user to input the number of minutes the service was used during the day and the number of minutes the service used during the night.

Please read case and answer the questions thank you.
As B2B e-commerce continues to grow, companies are placing more emphasis on upgrading their e-commerce infrastructure, taking many cues from B2C companies in the process. Streamlining their online stores and ensuring that potential customers can make purchases across a variety of channels has become just as important for B2B companies as it is for B2C companies. B2B e-commerce accounted for $6.7 trillion of the total $14.6 trillion in B2B trade in 2016, and that B2B e-commerce is expected to increase to around $9 trillion by 2020. For B2B e-commerce companies, there’s a lot at stake.Sana Commerce is a B2B e-commerce software company founded in 2008 and headquartered in the Netherlands. Sana provides B2B enterprise multichannel e-commerce, which is integrated with ERP systems. This means that Sana allows its clients to initiate transactions from physical stores, online stores, mobile app stores, telephone sales, or any other method. A number of companies offer these types of services, but Sana is unique in that it integrates within already installed enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Sana Commerce allows businesses to achieve better customer service, higher sales efficiency, and increased revenue. It’s compatible with many major ERP systems, including most versions of Microsoft Dynamics and SAP systems, and its Webshop is installed within that system, as opposed to functioning separately and interfacing with that system externally. This ensures that companies using Sana don’t have to make large investments in new ERP systems. Sana uses the pre-existing ERP’s business logic and information rather than forcing a complicated integration.This feature of Sana Commerce appeals to many companies, including Mechan Groep, distributor of agricultural machinery, wholesale goods, and aftersales supplies. Mechan Groep is based in Achterveld, Netherlands, employs 180 people, with clients in both the Netherlands and Belgium. The company earns 180 million euro per year, according to Mechan Groep CFO Rene Schwiete, who is featured in the video.Mechan Groep’s aftersales department uses Sana to better serve the needs of its dealers. Mechan Groep implemented Sana because of its preexisting use of SAP ERP software, and Sana’s Webshop worked within its larger SAP systems flawlessly. There are 105 dealers in Mechan Groep’s network. These dealers use Sana’s Webshop to access Mechan Groep supplies. Dealers can view inventory on a daily basis and select the urgency with which they need supplies. Mechan Groep’s custom Webshop offers over 700,000 items to Mechan Groep’s dealers.
1.How does Mechan Groep staff fulfill each order as it comes in on Sana Webshop?
2.What type of clients does Mechan Groep serve? Why is the speed of Sana Webshop important?
3.What types of B2B e-commerce companies is Sana best suited for?
