A particle is described by the wave function ψ(x) = b(a2 - x2) for -a ≤ x ≤ a and ψ(x)=0 for x ≤ -a and x ≥ a , where a and b are positive real constants.
(a) Using the normalization condition, find b in terms of a.
(b) What is the probability to find the particle at x = 0.33a in a small interval of width 0.01a?
(c) What is the probability for the particle to be found between x = 0.03a and x = 1.00a ?
