Assuming the probability distribution falls off like a gaussian, I'd guess something like 3.5 to 4 times as large. I dont remember if that specific probability density function is gaussian or not, but assuming a distribution falls off like a gaussian is usually a safe bet

it is not gaussian. for first electron, it is closer to poissonian
