The probability that the component, v _ ( x ) , of a molecule's velocity is in the interval v x ' v x +

The probability that the component, v_(x), of a molecule's velocity is in the interval vx'vx+dvx is f(vx)dvx
f(vx)=-m2kBT2e-mx22kBT
a) Show that the probability that ec component v_(x) is in the -u=v_(x)=u is given byProb.=2200e-w2dw-=erf(0)
(b) The integral is evaluated numerically. Here are some values: (look for the values in the picture)
Calcalate the fraction of molecules with velocity
i)vxkBTm2
ii)vx2kBTm2
