Explanation Given information: The distance r between the electron and the nucleus in a hydrogen atom is a random variable with the probability density function p ( r ) = 4 a 0 − 3 r 2 e − 2 r / a 0 for r ≥ 0 . Here, a 0 is Bohr radius and given by a 0 = 5.29 × 10 − 11 m The given figure is Formula used: For a function p ( x ) as a probability density function of a random variable X , P ( X ≤ b ) = ∫ − ∞ b p ( x ) d x The following integration by parts can be calculated as shown below. ∫ x 2 e − x / a d x = − a x 2 e − x / a + 2 a ( − a x e − x / a − a 2 e − x / a ) + C Calculation: The probability P that the electron is within 1 Bohr radius of nucleus can be calculated a s shown below. P ( X ≤ a 0 ) = ∫ 0 a 0 p ( r ) d r = ∫ 0 a 0 4 a 0 − 3 r 2 e − 2 r / a 0 d r = 4 a 0 − 3

Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…
