What is the average value of <x> you would expect to find in measurements carried out at time t? Leave your result in terms of m, , and t. Any integrals which you know to be zero by symmetry you may eliminate without justification -- just be sure.
Hint: You will be best off by writing your expression as a sum of integrals where you substitute in the explicit forms for and at the last possible moment. You may use the following standard integral:
