The question is about the radial probability graph part the rest is easy. How am I supposed to break down the question and answer it when I would need the wave function to be able to calculate the probability of an electron being in the 2s and then 2p orbital or am I missing something major when I was studying this topic. I know the answer cause it was bugging me but how was it solved the answer doesn't really show much or explain why it does what it does. The answer is also attached along with the question if anyone could help shed light on what I missed that would be amazing. Thank you.

I don't think it asks for a precise shape, rather to show that you know the most important properties of the curve. No calculations, just a sketch.
