Question

Suppose you select four cards at random from a standard deck of playing cards and end up with a macrostate of four deuces. How many microstates are associated with this macrostate?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are four microstates associated with the macrostate

Step-by-step explanation:

Macrostate is the largest possible microstate outcome in an event.

There are four deuces in a standard deck of playing cards, these include;

two heart, two spade, two club and two diamond.

Thus, when a macrostate of four deuces are selected, the microstates are two heart, two spade, two club and two diamond.

The microstates are four.

Therefore, there are four microstates associated with the macrostate.
