    What is the total probability for the given wavefunction?

    One more thing: since the weight of the second part of the wavefunction is a 2, which is twice as great as the first part, it would seem to me that the second wavefunction is twice as likely to occur. That is, psi_1 would be 33% and psi_2 would be 67%. However, I don't understand how the...

    What is the total probability for the given wavefunction?

    I *think* it's just a 2, not 2/sqrt(3)... By the way, I don't see how the probabilities add up to 1 if it's 2/sqrt(3)...

    What is the total probability for the given wavefunction?

    Homework Statement Okay, here it is: The wavefunction is psi=1*[1/sqrt(6)]*psi_1 + 2*psi_2 and I have to find the total probability (yes, there is a "weight" of 2 in front of the second part of the wavefunction). Homework Equations I know that psi^2 gives the probability, but I don't...
