Find the number of ways of putting 2 particles in 5 boxes according to the different kinds of statistics.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution is derived as mentioned below.

M1=25M2=10M3=15

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

Number of particles is 2 and number of boxes is 5.

02

Definition of Probability.

Probability means the chances of any event to occur is called it probability.

03

 Step 3: Find the probability

Use Maxwell-Boltzmann: In this model particles are distinguishable so the number of method can be arranged N=2particles in n=5boxes using this method.

M1=nN=52=25

Use Fermi-Dirac: In this model particles are not distinguishable so the number of method can be arranged N=2particles inn=5using this method.

M2=C(n,N)=C(5,2)=10

Use Bose-Einstein: In this model particles are not distinguishable as in Fermi-Dirac but the difference here is that's allowed to put two balls in same box so the number of method can be arrangeddata-custom-editor="chemistry" N=2particles inn=5boxes using this method.

M3=C(n-1+N,N)=C(6,2)=15

Hence, the solution is mentioned below.

M1=25M2=10M3=15

Given a non uniform sample space and the probabilities associated with the points, we defined the probability of an event A as the sum of the probabilities associated with the sample points favorable to A. [You used this definition in Problem 15with the sample space (2.5).] Show that this definition is consistent with the definition by equally likely cases if there is also a uniform sample space for the problem (as there was in Problem 15). Hint: Let the uniform sample space have n<Npoints each with the probability N-1. Let the nonuniform sample space have n points, the first point corresponding to N1 points of the uniform space, the second to N2 points, etc. What is N1 + N2 + .... Nn ?What are p1, p2, ...the probabilities associated with the first, second, etc., points of the nonuniform space? What is p1 + p2 +....+ pn? Now consider an event for which several points, say i, j, k, of the nonuniform sample space are favorable. Then using the nonuniform sample space, we have, by definition of the probability p of the event, p = pi + pj + pk . Write this in terms of the N’s and show that the result is the same as that obtained by equally likely cases using the uniform space. Refer to Problem 15as a specific example if you need to.
