Question

Suppose a quanton's wavefunction psi(x) at a given time is shown below, where A is an unspecified constant and a = 1.5 nanometers. My table of integrals shows the result below. If we perform an experiment to locate the quanton at this time, what would be the probability of a result within +/- 0.1 nanometers of the origin? (Hint: note that 0.1 nanometers is pretty small compared to the range over which the exponential varies significantly. You should not therefore have to actually calculate an integral.)

(Hint: the answer is 7.5%)
