Chapter 15: Q17P (page 743)

Find the number of ways of putting2particles in4boxes according to the three kinds of statistics.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required values are mentioned below.

M=16M=6M=10

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

The two particles are in four boxes.

02

Definition of uniform sample spaces.

If a given experiment's sample space is known to be uniform, the probability of an event can be calculated using the event sizes and the sample space.

03

Find the methods

The formula for Maxwell-Boltzmann states that M=nN.

M=42=16

Use Fermi-Dirac method.

M=C(N,n)=C(4,2)=6

Use Bose Einstein method.

M=C(n−1+N,n)=C(5,2)=10

Hence, the required valuesare given below.

M=16M=6M=10

Two decks of cards are “matched,” that is, the order of the cards in the decks is compared by turning the cards over one by one from the two decks simultaneously; a “match” means that the two cards are identical. Show that the probability of at least one match is nearly.1−1/e

Use Problemto 9find the expected value of the sum of the numbers on the dice in Problem2.

Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use itto solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.

A letter is selected at random from the alphabet. What is the probability that it is one of the letters in the word “probability?” What is the probability that it occurs in the first half of the alphabet? What is the probability that it is a letter after x?

Some transistors of two different kinds (call them N and P) are stored in two boxes. You know that there are 6 N’s in one box and that 2 N’s and 3 P’s got mixed in the other box, but you don’t know which box is which. You select a box and a transistorfrom it at random and find that it is an N; what is the probability that it came from the box with the 6 N’s? From the other box? If another transistor is picked from the same box as the first, what is the probability that it is also an N?
