Work Step by Step

$\;\;\;\;\int_0^\infty P(r)dr\\ =\int_0^\infty \frac{4}{a^3}r^2e^{-2r/a}dr\\ =\frac{4}{a^3}\int_0^\infty r^2e^{-2r/a}dr$ Using the following formula $\int_0^\infty x^ne^{-ax}dx=\frac{n!}{a^{n+1}}$ $\;\;\;\;\int_0^\infty P(r)dr\\ =\frac{4}{a^3}\times\frac{2!}{(\frac{2}{a})^{2+1}}\\ =\frac{4}{a^3}\times\frac{2\times a^{3}}{8}\\ =1$
