Chapter 16.2, Problem 16.2CE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possible arrangement for distribution of three unit energy over two atoms, $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ has to be stated.  The probability that three energy unit would confined to atoms $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ when three more atoms, $\text{C}$, $\text{D}$, and $\text{E}$ come in connect with $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The term probability is used to indicate the possibilities of the desired outcomes.  The value of probability lies from $0$ to $1$.  The value of probability cannot be negative.  The probability can be mathematically defined as the ratio number of desired outcomes and the total number of outcomes.
