microstates (a) Calculate the number of possible microstates for each macrostate n for N = 8 partides. What is the probability that n = 8? What is the probability that n = 4? It is possible to count the number of microstates for each n by hand if you have enough patience, but because there are a total of 28 = 256 microstates, this counting would be very tedious. An alternatives to obtain an expression for the number of ways that n particles out of N can be in the left half of the box. Motivate such an expression by enumerating the possible microstates for smaller values of N until you see a pattern.
