At each fixed time, is a bell-shaped Gaussian centred at , with width determined by . Completing the square as in part (d) makes the density symmetric about . Therefore its position expectation value isThe sketch is a Gaussian peak whose centre oscillates between the two turning positions found in part (e), while its width varies periodically through .
