dc.descriptionTwo approximations are frequently used in statistical physics: the first one, which we shall name the mean values approximation, is generally (and improperly) named as "maximum term approximation". The second is the "Stirling approximation". In this paper we demonstrate that the error introduced by the first approximation is exactly compensated by the second approximation in the calculation of mean values of multinomial distributions.
