I don't have much of a problem with your description of the wave function presented, I feel it would be much more useful to talk about the particle in a box problem as it is a good introductory point for the subject.

I don't really like the way you say "jumps". In my mind it implies that "it was hear but now its way over there". All this wave function is telling you is that if you look everywhere you will find the particle.

The wave function is a prediction of averages. In other words, (disregarding collapsing) if you measured the particle's position an infinite number of times,  you would find that 99% of the time it would be in that two angstrom range while the other 1 percent of the time its elsewhere. The particle doesn't "jump" it just wasn't where you would have expected to find it.
