Let |1) and |2) be two orthonormal states of a physical system, where |1) = i, and let O be an observable of the system. Consider the eigenvalue of O labeled An with the corresponding eigenstate |n). Let Pi(An) = |(n|Yi)|^2.
(a) What is the interpretation of Pi(An)?
(b) A particle is in a state given by 3|1) - 4i|1). What is the probability of getting An when O is measured?
