the marble is red, what is the probability that it was drawn from box A?, box B?, box C?
For a particle in a box, what would the probability distribution function Ic I2 look like if the particle behaved like a classical (Newtonian) particle? Do the actual probability distributions approach this classical form when n is very large? Explain.
