Homework Statement
I have a free Brownian particle and its coordinate is given as a function of time:
And its first moment, or mean, is given as
But what kind of probability density was used to calculate this first moment?
Homework Equations
I know that the first moment is calculated by using probability density
<x> = ∫x*W(x)dx from -infinity to +infinity.
X itself is dependent on t, so is it W(x) or W(x,t) or W(t)? I'm little lost on this one.
The Attempt at a Solution
I did find some kind of density function in regards to Brownian motion
But I can't see how this would yield the correct result. And still, must I integrate over x or t?
