The wave function $\psi$ of a certain system is the linear combination
\[ \psi=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}\,\psi_1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}}\,\psi_2 \]
where $\psi_1$ and $\psi_2$ are energy eigen functions with eigen values (non-degenerate) $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. What is the probability that the system energy will be observed to be $E_1$?
(a)$\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{16}}$
(b)$\frac{3}{4}$
(c)$\frac{1}{4}$
