A macrostate probability begins as a finite count ledger. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

A macrostate is a counted bucket

The checked ledger groups four microstates into heads-count buckets.

Ω=4,P(H=1)=24=12\Omega=4,\quad P(H=1)=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

The diagram's probability label is derived from the same count ledger.
