 f) For each decay channel, express the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the number of observed events (Nobs) and the number of background events (Nb) in the signal region, the integrated luminosity (L) and the event selection efficiency. 
 
-g) How would you measure the background yield (Nb) from this data sample?
