Basing on the classical trajectory motion for an electron circling an atomic nucleus and averaging the motion over initial coordinate parameters of ellipse trajectories for the electron, we get a density distribution in space. This distribution is consistent with probability density of stationary state for hydrogen atom in the classical limit. This comparison shows that a wave function of hydrogen atom in stationary state does not describe an individual atom but an ensemble.
