SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of a classically forbidden region using quantum mechanics principles. The recommended approach involves normalizing the wave function and applying the probability postulate by integrating the square of the wave function, |\phi(x)|^2, over the specified region. This method provides the total probability associated with the classically forbidden area. The integration process is essential for accurate results in quantum probability calculations.

First, I would take this question to the Homework Help section of this forum. Then, once I did that, I would properly normalize the wave function, and then I would use the probability postulate of the wave function and integrate |\phi(x)|^2 over the classically forbidden region. That'll give you the total probability.
