Probability of a particle in a simple harmonic oscillator -

[balthazar]

Homework Statement

What is the probability that a particle in the ground state of a simple harmonic oscillator 1-D potential will be found outside the region accessible classically

Homework Equations

∫(between 1 and infinity) e^(-y^2 ) dy=0.08π^(1/2)


I feel like it's quite a simple question but I just can't find where to start so if anyone can help it will be greatly apprechiated?

What's the general procedure for finding the probability that a particle is in a certain region of space? It should be explained in your notes or textbook.
