The entropy of a certain macropartition of a combined system is 102kB. The entropy of another macropartition is 204kB. How much more likely is the system to be in the second macropartition than the first?
A. 2 times
B. e2 = 7.4 times
C. 102 = 100 times
D. e102 = 2 × 1044 times
E. ? e0; so the two macropartitions have basically the same probability
D. e102 = 2 × 1044 times
