A particle is described by the (non-normalized) wave function ψ(x) = (a^2 − x^2) for −a ≤ x ≤ +a and ψ(x) = 0 for x ≤ −a and x ≥ +a, where a is a positive real constant. The probability that the particle is found between x = +a/2 and x = a. Calculate the values of the expectation value of momentum <p> and the standard deviation of momentum σp.
