I think that the current definition of Boltzmann distribution is misleading. The probability of a microsate, say Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle X_i } , is Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \propto \exp \left[ - E(X_i) \right] } . but a given energy can be degenerate, so I think that it should be written something like
