Refer to the problem shown in Table 17.2 of two bulbs one on left containing atoms and the other on right fully evacuated.

If a tap is opened to connect the bulbs after equilibrium is reached, what is the probability for the cases below to nearest %?

(Important: write your answers each as an integer from 0 to 100)

a) If initially have 10 atoms in left bulb what chance finally that there will be 5 in left and 5 in right ?

b) If initially have 10 atoms in left bulb what is the chance finally there will be 4 in one of the bulbs?
