Problem 9

The following expression occurs in statistical mechanics: $$ P=\frac{n !}{(n p+u) !(n q-u) !} p^{n, \varphi+u} q^{n q-u}. $$ Use Stirling's formula to show that $$ \frac{1}{P} \sim x^{n p x} y^{n q y} \sqrt{2 \pi n p q x y}, $$ where \(x=1+\frac{u}{n p}, y=1-\frac{u}{n q}\), and \(p+q=1\). Hint: Show that $$ (n p)^{n D+u}(n q)^{n q-u}=n^{n} p^{n D+w} q^{n q-u} $$ and divide numerator and denominator of \(P\) by this expression.
