Statistical approach to irreversible processes

Determine the ratio of the counts of a system of 20 atoms when in a macrostate with 10 atoms on the left half of a box and 10 on the right half and when in a macrostate with 18 atoms on the left and 2 on the right. (b) Do the same for a system with 10 coins for the states with 5 coins on the left and 5 on the right compared to 9 coins on the left and 1 on the right. (c) When you compare your answers to parts (a) and (b), what do you infer about a similar ratio for a system with 10,000 atoms?
