Here's my understanding. Please let me know what I'm missing or what I've misunderstood. <x> represents the average of position measurements on some N, identically prepared particles. If those measurements are thought of as a distribution, then that distribution's form should match the wave...

I see. I just assumed that the wave function had to be differentiable everywhere, since its derivative shows up in the Schrödinger Eq. Thank you!

The wave function described seems impossible. Wave functions have to be differentiable at all points, right? Otherwise they don't represent a physically realizable state. The wave function in the example isn't differentiable at x=A, the maximum point. Also, for problem (c), I know it's visually...
