A proton gun fires a beam of 1.2 × 10 4 protons. The probability density for a proton passing through a proton detector is shown below. Determine the estimated number of protons that will hit a 0.65 mm-wide band of the detector at y = 1.0 mm. Assume that all the protons pass through the detector slit.
