A microstate is a state of a physical system described at the finest level of detail. A macrostate is a state of a physical system that is described in terms of the systems overall or average properties at a macroscopic level. A macrostate will generally consist of many different microstates. In defining a macrostate we ignore what is going on at the microscopic (atomic/molecular) level.
Suppose 24 students are enrolled in a class. For simplicity let’s assume that any student who is present is sitting completely still at his or her assigned seat, facing forward (so we don’t have to worry about students being in different locations, having different motions, etc.).

a. A list of the names of each student present today.
b. The number of students in attendance.
