Is the Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution consistent with the following statements?
Explain it briefly. a) The most populated quantum levels are always those with the
lowest energy. b) Among all energy levels, the particles are distributed equally. c)
All microstates are equally probable.
What does population vector, Π=(P1,P2,P3r,P3w)T mean ? How do this formula describe the overall state probability?
