Abstract
We have measured the branching fractions for B → D̅ X, B → DX, and B → D̅ Xℓ^+ν. From these results and some previously measured branching fractions, we obtain B(b → cc̅ s) = (21.9±3.7)%, B(b → sg)<6.8% at 90% C.L., and B(D^0 → K^-π^+) = (3.69±0.20)%. Implications for the “B semileptonic decay problem” (measured branching fraction being below theoretical expectations) are discussed. With the increase in the value of B(b → cc̅ s) due to B → DX, the discrepancy is no longer statistically compelling.
