Answer

$ P = 7.9 \%$

Work Step by Step

To calculate the percentage time the system spends in the central configuration for N = 200, we need to use the following equation $ P = \frac{W}{N_{total}} \times 100$ Subtitute values in (d) and (e) $ P = \frac{1.00 \times 10^{29}}{1.268 \times 10^{30}} \times 100$ $ P = 7.9 \%$
