A box contains N molecules. Consider two configurations: configuration A with an equal division of the molecules between the two halves of the box, and configuration B with 60.0% of, the molecules in the left half of the box and 40.0% in the right half. For N = 50, what are
(a) The multiplicity WA of configuration A,
(b) The multiplicity WB of configuration B, and
(c) The ratio fB/A o of the time the system spends in configuration B to the time it spends in configuration A? For N = 100, what are
(d) WA,
(e) WB and
(f) fB/A? For N = 200, what are
(g) WA,
(h) WB, and
(i) fB/A?
(j) With increasing N, does f increase, decrease, or remain the same?
