Suppose you have a "box" in which each particle may occupy any of 10 single-particle states. For simplicity, assume that each of these states has energy zero. What is the probability of finding both particles in the same single-particle state, for the three cases of distinguishable particles, identical bosons, and identical fermions?

Suppose you have three particles, and three distinct one-particle states (Va(x), Vb(x), and ye(x)) are available. How many different three-particle states can be constructed, (a) if they are distinguishable particles, (b) if they are identical bosons, (c) if they are identical fermions?

Imagine that there exists a third type of particle, which can share a single-particle state with one other particle of the same type but no more. Thus the number of these particles in any state can be 0, 1, or 2. Derive the distribution function for the average occupancy of a state by particles of this type, and plot the occupancy as a function of the state's energy, for several different temperatures.
