Abstract
A variety of numerical problems, along with their solutions, regarding the probability of locating the electron in a hydrogen atom are given. These problems range from simple substitution exercises to graduate-level take-home questions. Comments on the physical meaning of some of the results are also provided. These problems may be easily modified by teachers to suit their purposes.
