4. A certain Gaussian probability distribution is given by f(x) = Ae(+3)2/8, where A is some constant chosen so that the integral of f(x) is one. (a) Draw a rough picture of this distribution, being sure to label where the peak is located. (b) What is the approximate value of the full width of the distribution at half the maximum?
