the wave function descrbing a state of an electron confined to move along the xaxis is given at time zero by:
[tex]\Psi(x,0)=Ae^{\frac{-x^2}{4 \sigma^2}}[/tex]
where sigma is a constant (i believe).
I am asked to find the probability of finding the electron in a degion dx centered at x=0.
I really don't know where to being since the wave function isn't in complex form so I can't multiply it by its complex conjugate. what should I do?
