Answer

$ P(E) = 0.824 $

Work Step by Step

The energy of donor state $E = 1.11 eV - 0.15 eV$ $E = 0.96 eV$ The Fermi Energy $E_F = 1.11 eV - 0.11 eV$ $E_F = 1.00 eV$ Solve for probability $ P(E) = \frac{1}{e^{E_1 - E_F/kT} + 1}$ $ P(E) = \frac{1}{e^{(0.96 eV) - ( 1.00 eV)/0.02586eV} + 1}$ $ P(E) = 0.824 $
