Consider a system of one particle in equilibrium with a heat bath. The particle has two microstates of energy <span class="math">e_1=0[/spoiler] and <span class="math">e_2=\Delta<span class="math">. find the probabilities Missing argument for subscript1 and p2 for the mean energy of the system to be .2\Delta, .4\Delta, .5\Delta/, .6\Delta, and \Delta, respectively. What are the corresponding temperatures? (hint: Write the mean energy as x\Delta and express your answers in terms of x.)

What does this even mean? How are there two probabilities? Can anyone give me some direction? I've read the chapter a few times.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
