Macrostates, Microstates, and Probabilities ) Macrostates and Microstates: 1) Suppose we flip n = 2 coins at the same time. If we are interested in how many heads we might get, then we can define a macrostate by just naming N = the number of heads. How many possible macrostates are there when you flip 2 coins? 2) Now we count the total number of different possible ways the coins can land when we toss two coins. We call these "possible ways" microstates. For our two coin toss, list all the possible microstates.
