Suppose you had three (noninteracting) particles, in thermal equilibrium, in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential, with a total energy E = (9/2)ħω.
(a) If they are distinguishable particles (but all with the same mass), what are the possible occupation-number configurations, and how many distinct (three-particle) states are there for each one? What is the most probable configuration? If you picked a particle at random and measured its energy, what values might you get, and what is the probability of each one? What is the most probable energy?
(b) Do the same for the case of identical fermions (ignoring spin, as we did in Section 5.4.1).
(c) Do the same for the case of identical bosons (ignoring spin).
