Question

I know the number of ways to roll a 7 but not the entropy associated with an outcome of 7.

With two dice, each numbered 1–6, there are two possible ways to roll a 3.
and
Thus, for the outcome of 3 (a particular macrostate), there are 2 microstates.
How many possible ways are there to roll a 7?
number of ways to roll a 7: 6
What is the entropy associated with an outcome of 7?
S =
J/K
