There are possible 4 states, one with energy , two with energies and one state with energy
probability of one state having the energy is
found from the condition that the sum of all probabilities is 1:
The value of the average total energy is:
For entropy one has
The heat capacity is found from the equation:
The results are
...
Therefore the partition function Z is
The computations of the derivatives have been done online
