**Problem Statement:** Let $ f $ be a one-to-one function from $ X = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $ onto $ X $. Let $ f^k = f \circ f \circ \cdots \circ f $ denote the $ k $-fold composition of $ f $ with itself. Show that there are distinct positive integers $ i $ and $ j $ such that $ f^i(x) = f^j(x) $ for all $ x \in X $. Show that for some positive integer $ k $, $ f^k(x) = x $ for all $ x \in X $.

Prices and carats of 78 Prinicess cut loose diamonds from Brilliance.com. Prices ranged from $1,000 to $2,000. Carats ranged from 0.50 to 0.75. While I did not share, the diamonds are Color grades D, E, or F, and Clarity grades VVS1 and VVS2. Please show all work. Can carats explain prices? Provide evidence to support your answer. If the carats are 0.64, what is the expected price for the diamond?
