1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

why is the radial probability density for hydrogen ground state obtained by squaring the wave function ? then multiply by sherical shell

2. Relevant equations

psi squared * exp -r/a0 derative V

3. The attempt at a solution
I can solve the problem if I know why wave function is squared
