Question: We consider again the system in Exercises 1 and 2 and make use of the same notation. We will study the limits T 0

We consider again the system in Exercises 1 and 2 and make use of the same notation.
We will study the limits T → 0 and T →∞.

(a) In the limit T → 0 compute the four probabilities given by Eq. (6.7) and compute
directly the entropy in Eq. (6.11) in this limit.

Equation (6.11)

S[p]=-Pilnpi i=1
