Consider a system that consists of two standard playing dice, with the state of the system defined by the sum of the values shown on the top faces.
(a) The two arrangements of top faces shown here can be viewed as two possible microstates of the system. Explain.
(b) To which state does each microstate correspond?
(c) How many possible states are there for the system?
(d) Which state or states have the highest entropy? Explain.
(e) Which state or states have the lowest entropy? Explain.
