a) Make a diagram showing how many distinct ways (how many microstates, the
multiplicity) there are of putting q = 2 indistinguishable objects in N = 3 boxes.
Assuming that all microstates are equally probable, what is the probability that
both objects are in the left-most box? What is the correct formula for the
mulitiplicity as a function of N and q?
