Question: Consider a system of two Einstein solids, A, which contains 7 oscillators, and B, which also contains 7 oscillators, sharing a total of 18 units

Consider a system of two Einstein solids, A, which contains 7 oscillators, and B, which also contains 7 oscillators, sharing a total of 18 units of energy. Assume that the solids are weakly coupled, and that the total energy is fixed.

(a) What is the probability of finding 1/3 of the total energy in solid A?

(b) What is the probability of finding 1/3 or less of the total energy in solid A?
