The wave function $\psi$ of a certain system is the linear combination $$\psi = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\,\psi_1 + \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}\,\psi_2$$
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) $\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}}$
(b) $\frac{3}{4}$
(c) $\frac{1}{4}$
